Wind Gap Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
Severe thunderstorms knocked down trees and lines in two areas of Northampton County. The first was across the northeast corridor from Bushkill Township northeast through Wind Gap, Plainfield Township and Bangor. The second area extended from Palmer Township southeast into Easton. In Palmer Township, a large tree split in half and outdoor furniture was tossed from the porch of one home. The combination of damaging winds and lightning caused about 5,000 Pennsylvania Power and Light homes and businesses to lose power in Northampton County. Metropolitan Edison reported about 12,000 homes and businesses lost power in their service area including Northampton County. All power was restored by the evening of the 11th.
