THEY SAY NO ONE WAS HURT. LET\u2019S GET BACK TO THAT STORM COVERAGE TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW OVER THE WEEKEND, AND NOW COMMUNITIES ARE DEALING WITH THIS. FALLEN TREES AND DEBRIS IN MANY AREAS, AND THOUSANDS ARE STILL WITHOUT POWER THIS MORNING. SOME HAVE MAYBE RIDDEN OUT THAT STORM LAST NIGHT WITHOUT POWER. SO LET\u2019S TAKE A LOOK AT THE LATEST POWER OUTAGE NUMBERS. PEOPLE REPORTING THIS WEEKEND. STORMS AMONG ITS TOP TEN MOST IMPACTFUL STORMS EVER. RIGHT NOW, LANCASTER COUNTY HAS MORE THAN 28,000 CUSTOMERS WITHOUT POWER. PEOPLE IN DAUPHIN COUNTY REPORTING NEARLY 12,000 CUSTOMERS WITHOUT POWER. AND IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PEOPLE SAYS 15,000 OF ITS CUSTOMERS DO NOT HAVE ELECTRICITY RIGHT NOW. MATT ED IS ALSO REPORTING OUTAGES. ABOUT 3000 CUSTOMERS ARE OUT OF POWER IN YORK AND LEBANON COUNTIES. SO LET\u2019S SHOW YOU SOME OF THE DAMAGE. BECAUSE THE SEVERE WEATHER LEFT MULTIPLE ROADS BLOCKED AND EMERGENCY CREWS IN IN MANHEIM TOWNSHIP, LANCASTER COUNTY, OVERWHELMED WITH THE AMOUNT OF CALLS THEY GOT OVER THE WEEKEND. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO FROM ABOVE. SCOTT LITTLE. HE IS THE FIRE CHIEF AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR IN MANHEIM TOWNSHIP. SAYS THEY\u2019RE WORKING WITH PEOPLE TO CLEAN EVERYTHING UP. WE HAVE OVER 20 HOMES THAT HAVE TO BE INSPECTED BY THE TOWNSHIP. CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT TO SEE HOW MANY RESIDENTS ARE GOING TO BE DISPLACED DUE TO THAT DAMAGE AS WELL. WE HAVE NUMEROUS ROADWAYS. WE HAVE ABOUT 40 ROADWAYS STILL EITHER FULLY BLOCKED OR PARTIALLY BLOCKED THAT WE ARE ASSESSING. WE HAVE A LOT OF WIRES DOWN, WHICH IS ALSO CAUSING CHALLENGES TO GET ROADS REOPENED. THE BIGGEST THING IS OBVIOUSLY GETTING PEOPLE TO ONE CHECK ON THEIR NEIGHBORS, HELP THEIR NEIGHBOR\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Tens of thousands without power in south-central Pennsylvania after severe thunderstorms<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1769026991_958_wgal.png\" class=\"lazyload lazyload-in-view branding\" alt=\"WGAL logo\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tUpdated: 7:23 AM EDT Jul 6, 2026\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wgal.com\/article\/hearst-television-news-policy-statements\/14471973\" class=\"editorial-standards border-left\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Editorial Standards \u24d8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTens of thousands of customers remain without power in the Susquehanna Valley after severe thunderstorms swept through the area.
