Power restored after large outage leaves over 1,200 Met-Ed customers in Easton without electricity

EASTON, Pa. — Power has been restored for all customers impacted by a large outage in Easton on Saturday.

The outage that affected a little more than 1,200 customers was restored around 6 p.m.

One of the places impacted by the outage was the Harlan House in the area of Washington Street and Lehigh Drive.

A few people who live there said it was been getting warm and was difficult to see where they were walking while the power was out.

Several neighbors we spoke with said they came outside to cool off amid the outage.

A couple people said the lights went out around 1 p.m.

They said this outage was very concerning since some of their neighbors rely on having power for various medical devices.

“The lights went out about 1 p.m. and that’s it. Only I hear the poor people over there complaining about how they can’t go down the steps because it’s too far for a lot of people, they can’t walk,” said Carmen Gonzlez, a neighbor who lost power.

A Met-Ed spokesperson tells us crews are looking into what caused this outage.
