Final suspect in Hazleton shooting turns himself in

<p>Nearly 24 hours after powerful storms rolled through the region, some residents were still without power.</p><p>According to the PPL Outage Center, as many as 95 customers in the area of Harding in Exeter Township were without electricity as of 6 p.m. Tuesday due to tree limbs knocking down wires. Power there was restored before nightfall.</p><p>Meanwhile, 201 customers in Dorrance Township were still experiencing an outage early Tuesday evening. Those residents were expected to be back online by 11 p.m.</p><p>Heavy winds caused some damage in Wilkes-Barre Township as well, downing trees and damaging homes near the intersection of Hemlock and Spruce streets.</p><p>April Kelley, owner of one side of a double-block home at 1100 Spruce, said she knew something was wrong when the house started to shake.</p><p>&#8220;I got all the kids and we went into the basement and waited for the wind to die down,&#8221; Kelley said. &#8220;It was all over in about 10 minutes.&#8221;</p><p>When she emerged from the basement to survey the damage, she saw her attic window had been blown in. And some of the shingles on her roof &#8212; plus the roofing felt under the shingles &#8212; had been stripped off and dumped in a neighbor&#8217;s backyard.</p><p>Kelley&#8217;s mother, Carol Maciolek, lives nearby but saw no damage at her house. She was amazed by how localized the damage was to the area of Hemlock and Spruce.</p><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s like a whole other world over here,&#8221; Maciolek said.</p><p>Kelley, whose home was not insured, said she was waiting on a crew from the Red Cross to assess the damage before determining her next step.</p><style>
