Trees and Power Lines Took a Hit
After the rare October snow storm, thousands of PPL customers throughout Lower Mac Patch are cold and, as night falls, will remain in the dark.

And "How long were you without power?" could be the next question.
As of 5:30 p.m. Sunday, Lehigh was the county with the highest number of customers without power throughout PPL's 29-county service area.
