Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAn approaching cold front that ended a week long heat wave also triggered severe thunderstorms across eastern Pennsylvania during the afternoon and early evening on the 23rd. The majority of the wind and lightning damage occurred in southeastern Pennsylvania where PECO Energy reported about 35,000 homes and businesses lost power. A power outage caused significant delays and over a one hour shut down (from 430 p.m. EDT through 545 p.m. EDT) of Amtrak train service between Philadelphia and Boston. Five SEPTA Regional Rail Lines were also affected by the outage.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeA lightning strike created a three foot hole in the roof of the Allen Township Public Works building. The trusses of the building were not damaged. A canvas was placed over the hole until it was repaired.
