Episode narrativeepisode_narrative	A hot and humid air mass and a lee side trough helped trigger a powerful squall line of strong to severe thunderstorms that moved through all of Eastern Pennsylvania during the evening of the 8th. About 400,000 homes and businesses lost power in central and eastern Pennsylvania. PECO Energy reported 260,000 of its customers lost power in southeastern Pennsylvania as this line moved through. About 100,000 customers were without power on the morning of the 9th and 40,000 on the afternoon of the 9th. Chester County had about half of the remaining outages. It took until the afternoon of the 11th to have power fully restored. Restoration crews from a dozen states assisted. Metropolitan Edison reported about 61,000 of its Pennsylvania customers lost power and Pennsylvania Power and Light reported about 75,000 of its Pennsylvania Customers (28,000 on the morning of the 9th) also lost power.

Preceding this line, an isolated severe thunderstorm affected Bucks County during the afternoon of the 8th.\|\|The downed trees and power lines also caused commuting problems.

In southeast Pennsylvania, SEPTA Regional Commuter Rail Service had to suspend service along Paoli-Thorndale, Fox Chase, Airport and Chestnut Hill Lines because of tree and line problems.
