Dozens of senior citizens at the Arthur J. Demor towers in Verona have been displaced due to a power outage after Monday’s strong storms.
Channel 11 spoke with Verona’s police chief overnight, who said he was told by Duquesne Light that at least two transformers blew during the storm around 5:30 p.m. Monday. Power is expected to be restored by 1 p.m. Tuesday.
Residents of the towers were taken to the Verona Municipal Building, where the Red Cross and the Salvation Army provided assistance.
