Pennsylvania Power and Light is working to get power back on for thousands of customers following strong storms Wednesday evening into the overnight hours.
The storms brought down trees across PPL's coverage area. Wind gusts reached up to 50 miles per hour causing widespread damage.
"Our crews worked all night long and they've restored power to about 35,000 customers since the storm began," said Dana Burns, PPL Director of Communications. "We saw the largest impact in our Lehigh ... and that northeast region of our service territory." "We lost power about 9 o'clock last night and since then it's been a little cold. We busted out the generator this morning, got the heat up and running," Fiore said.
