Washington County had the fewest problems, a utility spokesman said.
"I'd bet we didn't have more than 50 or 60 all day," Allegheny Energy Spokesman Allen Staggers said. "It was mostly related to the wind knocking over trees or limbs breaking.

Staggers said employees restored power to all residences affected in the area.
