Strong winds blast East Coast, flip over planes



TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Powerful winds knocked out power to nearly 12,500 customers and damaged some small airplanes in New Jersey early Wednesday.

Accuweather also warned of damage throughout Pennsylvania from the winds, which were expected to gust up to 45 miles per hour through tonight.

Thousands of customers are without power across Pennsylvania after a series of overnight rain storms accompanied by strong winds.

Peco said it has 17,000 customers without power Wednesday morning. Peco spokeswoman Karen Muldoon Geus says wind gusts forecast to reach 45 mph during the day has the utility on guard for more outages.
