The severe weather that passed through our area yesterday caused a lot of damage and many outages across the county.
At its peak, 4,236 Penelec customers were without power in Indiana County, with the bulk of those outages in White, Green, Rayne, Canoe and Cherryhill Townships along with Clymer Borough. Over 4,500 of REA Cooperative’s members were without power across Indiana County Tuesday afternoon and evening. Many of those outages were storm-related with either power lines being blown down or forced down by falling trees.
Speaking of falling trees, Brush Valley Fire Department was busy with trees falling onto a nearby house and garage along Route 259. No word yet on if anyone was injured in that incident.

The other three are scattered among West Wheatfield and Banks Townships. REA Energy is also reporting 395 of its members are without power at this hour, with many of the outages reported in the central and southern areas of the county. Penelec expects power to be restored by 8:30 tonight.
