The 70-person team, including 48 line personnel and 22 support personnel, will assist Philadelphia Electric Company once they arrive this afternoon. As of Tuesday morning, PECO was reporting almost 600,000 customers without power.

    @duke. I do not blame the mayor for wanting to hold a marathon anymore than I blame my cat when it kills birds and rabbits. Nature will do as nature does.
    Workers B Safe.

    The people in New York City will appreciate the help. I wish people would stop saying bad things about Mayor Bloomberg. I was in a restaurant in Atmore last light and heard these people talking at the next table how the Mayor had lost his mind holding a marathon and a racial slur in regards to the Mayor and a dollar. Mayor Bloomberg is just attempting to cheer the citizens up with a marathon. You people enjoyed the recent runs in Atmore and Bratt did you not?

    We really appreciate the help! Our neighborhood in Plymouth Meeting typically loses power for a few hours after heavy thunderstorms, and we really expected to be without power for several days. It was great to have the lights on again in a matter of hours. We’ve been seeing trucks and crews from lots of other states. Thanks!
