UPDATE: Power Restored For Most In New Hope

NEW HOPE, PA — Widespread power outages impacted New Hope Borough, with more than half of customers without power around noon on Monday. Power has since been restored to most of the community; as of 3:20 p.m., just 36 customers remained without service, PECO said.

According to PECO around noon, 1,166 borough residents were without power. That's 62 percent of customers, according to PECO's data.

The power outages stemmed from high winds impacting the entire region. More than 33,000 people in PECO's service area were experiencing a power loss at noon.

PECO said it is aware of the outages, and has activated its Storm Center so crews are ready to respond to any outages and issues. Residents without power can check their status by clicking here. If you have just experienced an outage, report it by clicking here.

Forecasters with the National Weather Service say the raging winds, which have gusted higher than 50 mph in the Philadelphia region, will continue throughout the day Monday. A high wind warning is in effect through 6 p.m.

Gusts of up to 60 mph are possible Monday, the NWS said.

"Damaging winds will blow down trees and power lines. Widespread power outages are expected. Travel will be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles," the high wind warning said. The wet ground conditions are conducive to falling trees and poles, forecasters note.

Property damage is possible, as sustained wind speeds of at least 40 mph or gusts of 58 mph or more can cause such damage.
