Lightning Storms cause some power issues

Thunderstorms developed into a line this evening that sagged south into Southern New Jersey. While no severe weather was reported with this line, the thunderstorms packed quite a bit of intense lightning leaving several thounsand in the dark in Southern New Jersey...especially around the Atlantic Cityt Metro where reports of more than 3,000 without power for a time were received.

However, between 12:30 a.m. and 2:45 a.m., another batch of thunderstorm will move in from Eastern Maryland and Delaware. This cluster has been producing very intense lightning all evening and should continue to do so as it moves into South Jersey. Therefore....additional outages related to the dangerous and frequent cloud to ground lightning strikes will be likely.
