A severe storm has left nearly 450,000 customers in Pennsylvania without power. Duquesne Light and FirstEnergy are working on restoration efforts.
(Reuters) -Nearly 450,000 customers in Pennsylvania were without power early on Wednesday, data from PowerOutage.us showed, a day after a storm system brought on severe weather to the central United States.
Duquesne Light Company said late Tuesday it was working to restore power to more than 240,000 customers who were experiencing power outages in Allegheny and Beaver counties after the storm.
High wind gusts nearing 80 miles (128.75 km) per hour knocked down trees, broke utility poles and caused more than 20,000 separate reports of hazards so far, the utility said.
FirstEnergy also reported nearly 200,000 customers affected across Pennsylvania, including areas such as Allegheny, Armstrong, Indiana, Washington and Westmoreland counties.
