episode_narrativeLightning struck two Pennsylvania Power and Light (PPL) substations in Robesonia and Shillington around 330 p.m. EDT and knocked out several fuses. The substations could not handle the incoming 69,000 volt lines from the company's Lancaster County station. Consequently 11,000 customers or about one-third of PPL's western Berks customer base lost power for about two hours. Another lightning strike caused about 160 GPU Energy customers in the Hamburg area to lose power.
