More than 38,000 customers served by West Penn Power and Central Electric Cooperative are without electricity as of 7:45 a.m.

Due to the numerous power outages, warming stations have been set up in the county, according to Robert McLafferty, the county's 911 coordinator.

Six warming centers have been set up throughout the county to accommodate those without power as a result of Winter Storm Avery.
