Powerful Storms, Winds Knock Out Power For Thousands, Topple Trees Across Delaware Valley

The change comes after a large tree fell and knocked out power lines and damaged a pole between Woodcrest and Ashland stations during Monday's powerful wind and storms.

PATCO says crews are working through the night to restore service as quickly as possible. Commuters should allow extra travel time and consider alternate modes of transportation to stations with parking lots expected to fill up quickly.
