PHILADELPHIA<\/strong> – As the last weekend before Christmas unfolds, many are out shopping, but strong winds are causing chaos for homes and businesses alike.\u00a0<\/p>\n Power outages and community response\u00a0 <\/p>\n Dangerous winds have left more than 30,000 PPL customers, over 7,000 PECO customers, and more than 2,000 PSE&G customers without power.\u00a0<\/p>\n Shawnette Wilson from FOX 29 spoke with locals dealing with the harsh weather.\u00a0<\/p>\n Nina D’Iorio, a resident of Tredyffrin Township, described hearing a loud cracking noise before witnessing a tree fall on a car.\u00a0<\/p>\n “I thought instantly, oh my goodness, I hope this car isn’t crushed by this tree,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fortunately, the driver was unharmed but visibly shaken, said Joe Romano, a neighbor who rushed to help.\u00a0<\/p>\n Dig deeper:<\/p>\n The incident occurred in Tredyffrin Township, where a PECO worker confirmed that strong winds caused the tree to fall, damaging the car and bringing down power lines.\u00a0<\/p>\n D’Iorio and her neighbors were running on generators, but she expressed relief that the driver was safe.\u00a0<\/p>\n “That’s a small consolation. This man is having a much bigger day than we are. We can live without power for one night,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n What we don’t know:<\/p>\n It remains unclear how long it will take to restore power to the affected areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n Weather<\/a>Philadelphia<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHILADELPHIA – As the last weekend before Christmas unfolds, many are out shopping, but strong winds are causing…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":460105,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5132],"tags":[5229,50,1448,2830,1311,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,313],"class_list":{"0":"post-460104","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-pa","11":"tag-pennsylvania","12":"tag-philadelphia","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa","19":"tag-weather"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115752170668259232","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=460104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460104\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/460105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=460104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=460104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=460104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
