The majority of the Levittown-area was spared the worst impacts of overnight storms.

As more than 40,000 PECO customers in Bucks County woke up to no service, the Levittown area awoke to only about 1,300 customers in the dark. The majority of outages were in Falls Township and Middletown, according to the utility.

There were some reports of debris on local roads from the storms. Tullytown police asked motorists to leave a few minutes early as crews were cleaning up along roadways.

Due to the storms, Bucks County was planning to open county offices two hours late, but noted they might close. A final call was to be made at 8:30 a.m.

The worst of the storm damage appeared in the Newtown-area and Central Bucks County.

The line of rain and high winds rolled in late Thursday night after trick-or-treaters had finished their rounds.
