About 680 Duquesne Light customers in the Pittsburgh area were without power around 2 p.m. Friday.

Over 2,200 customers had been without power earlier Friday afternoon.

Impacted neighborhoods included Bloomfield, East Liberty, Garfield, Green Tree, McKeesport, Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, Stanton Heights, Westwood and Wilkins.

The utility company expects all service to be restored by 6 p.m. Friday, said Ashley Macik, a spokesperson for Duquesne Light.

“Our crews are safely working to repair the poles and restore service to the approximately 680 customers who remain without power,” she said.

Duquesne Light customers can report outages on the company’s website.

The outage comes as Western Pennsylvania on Friday saw rainfall from Tropical Storm Nicole, which raged through Florida Thursday. The National Weather Service predicted that Western Pennsylvania could see heavy rain between Friday and Saturday mornings.

The outages were caused by damaged poles, possibly a result of the weather, Macik said.
