When things are at their worst, Delco is often at its best

Slowly but surely, Delco is getting back to normal in the wake of the powerful storm that walloped the county Tuesday night.

That does not mean is has been easy, nor without more than a little frustration.

A lot of people in Aston and Brookhaven have now struggled through a second full day without power. Southbound Route 1 Baltimore Pike remains closed because a string of trees toppled over on power lines.

Tim Logue has a full update on the round-the-clock effort to restore power.

As of 10:30 p.m. last night, there were still 19,000 customers in the county without power. PECO has pulled in 1,500 additional staffers to help in the herculean effort to get everyone back online.

In the meantime, something else has been restored in Delaware County. It's the powerful sense of community that this place shows in exactly these kinds of circumstances.

In short, when things are at their worst, we're often at our best.

We used our editorial page today to address the issue.
