Hurricane Sandy unleashed its wrath on the Northeast, knocking out power to more than 523,000 of PPL Electric Utilities' 1.4 million customers. Dubbed the worst storm in the utility's history, the hurricane affected all 29 Pennsylvania counties served by the utility, and the hardest-hit areas were in the eastern part of the service territory from Bucks and Montgomery counties up through the Lehigh Valley and into the Poconos.
