A West Penn Power representative says it is too early to tell when power will be restored for more than 1,300 customers in Peters Township.

A tree fell on power lines during Wednesday morning's storm—causing most of the power outages.

Peters Township High School and Pleasant Valley Elementary are both affected by the outage. As a precaution, students in both buildings will not move their current location/room during the outage, according to the district spokesperson.
