Pennypack Elementary School students will be transported to Simmons Elementary School beginning Monday and until power is restored at the Hatboro school.
PECO has yet to restore power toPennypack Elementary School, Hatboro-Horsham School District officials said, but that doesn't mean students will have another day off. After having the last week off from school in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, students are to report to Pennypack as they normally would on Monday for bussing to Simmons Elementary School in Horsham, Assistant Superintendent Monica Taylor told Patch. Taylor said students will be transported to the Horsham school at 9 a.m. The district prefers that Pennypack parents see that their kids report to that school so the district can uniformly bus kids to Simmons, she said. If power can be restored in time Sunday, Taylor said Hatboro students would have school at Pennypack, she said…

Downed power lines and overheated equipment at the Verizon's central office in Hatboro caused customers throughout Bucks and Montgomery counties to lose voice and Internet service for most of Wednesday.
Verizon's private and business FiOS customers felt the effects of Tuesday night's wicked storm well into Wednesday, spending most of the day without phone and Internet service. According to Verizon Spokesman Lee Gierczynski, everything should be back to normal by 6 p.m. Gierczynski said that the trouble started last night when a tree toppled over power lines outside the company's Hatboro office on Moreland Ave. The back-up generator kicked in immediately and maintained operations until it shut down at 6 a.m. Wednesday morning and disrupted service for customers throughout Bucks and Montgomery counties. When the generator regained power later in the morning, it began recharging the office's bank of back-up batteries. One of those batteries …

Last night's storms took down trees and left Hatboro residents in the dark.
Severe storms ripped through the area Thursday night bringing lightning, strong winds and heavy rain. The quick moving storm also brought down trees and power lines in Hatboro.

A tree that fell on live wires on the property on St. John’s Lutheran Church caused residents to see the wire arcing and requiring police and members of the fire company to secure the scene. By early Friday morning the line was still down and live. Police who roped off the area said the line was a low priority for backlogged PECO because it was not causing any outages. Downed wires on …
