Checking in from Bethlehem PA - we had lots of trees down, and large parts of the region are without power.

According to the police - the Utility company isn't even answering its phone at the moment.

My place came through pretty well - since we had only about two inches of rain and relatively low wind gusts (>50 mph). I did have a big tree in the back shear off and almost hit the power lines coming into the house. Luckily it just missed (though it was leaning against this morning when I pushed it off), and I've been able to clean up the yard enough so that nothing else is going bring down wires. Glad nothing hit the main power lines.

Other than that it's been pretty uneventful up this way.

Not sure of your meaning, but it is very dangerous to touch any limbs that are touching power lines.
