Sometimes it doesn’t take wind gusts or intense downpours. This tree toppled under sunny skies with minimal breezes on Friday, Dec. 4, along Ring Road in Chadds Ford Township.
PECO spokeswoman Liz Williamson said the tree fell about 12:30 p.m. in the area of Bullock Road, and crews were on the scene by 12:45 p.m. She said 596 customers lost power initially, but about 400 were soon restored.
The remaining customers are likely to be back in service by later this afternoon, Williamson said. She said crews are working to replace a span of wire.
