Hurricane Sandy's impact on the Lehigh Valley: Power outages, damaged trees,
closed roads
Nearly 300,000 PPL and Met-Ed customers are without power in Lehigh and Northampton counties, and a section of Route 22 is closed at Route
33. A section of burned houses, left devastated by Hurricane Sandy...
Hurricane Sandy left the Lehigh Valley and Poconos regions in the dark and with a few less trees but with little damage compared to the beating suffered in
neighboring New Jersey.
The only death reported by local emergency and police officials as of Tuesday morning was in Berks County. A 62-year-old man was killed when a tree fell on a home in Pike Township near Boyertown. The national death toll from the storm is about 15, including two others in Pennsylvania – an 8-year-old Susquehanna county boy hit by a tree limb and a Lancaster County man who fell while trimming a tree.
