pennsylvania, about 90 miles northeast of pittsburgh. >> reporter: take a look at this, carol. this is the snow building up on the foliage of the trees. this is the main concern here in northernal pennsylvania with a lot of this heavy wet snow just accumulating on the foliage of the trees and now it's april 23rd and most of the trees have full foliage or close to it, a lot of this snow is going to be packed on to that foliage and make the trees heavier and the trees are going to start to collapse and bring down power lines. it's already started to happen. we just spoke with someone from one of the main power and electrical providers in this area and he just told me that about 15,000 customers in this area are already without power. most of them in this general region around du bois and clearfield county where we are. center county next to the east and indiana county to the west. so 15,000 people without power as of now. that number is going to grow throughout the day. as i mentioned, heavy wet snow along this i-80 corridor and a major concern because these are major truck routes. these arteries that go east-to-west. pennsylvania turnpike an hour and a half south of here and t
