Parts of Indiana County remain without power today after a stormy Saturday night. Power is out to as many as a hundred customers in the Blairsville area, with Penelec estimating restoration not happening until late this afternoon. The power supplier also estimates restoration of power this morning to customers in Jacksonville, Saltsburg, and Cherry Tree. REA estimates restoration this morning for an outage due to a broken pole and lines down just north of Blairsville.
