The National Weather Service had warned the public of the severe wind across the region.

Storms moving through the Lower Susquehanna Valley have made wind damage recently but should weaken and move off into MD. The cluster of storms over western PA have begun to weaken as they move eastward. But, some damaging wind from those storms is still not out of the question.

Both PPL and Met-Ed also have smaller outages across the regions of Pennsylvania that the companies cover. There are no official restoration timelines.
