October 21, 2015 A vehicle struck (no injuries) PECO Utility Pole # 434 which is over 2 miles from my home. 30, 000 volts shot through 30 homes in my area which caused considerable damage. My neighbors on either side of me were not affected. PECO's linemen went door-to-door that evening. That NEVER happened before. In spite of two home power surge protectors which were completely destroyed, I incurred over $15, 000 worth of damage. (The Claims Department of the owner of the vehicle's Auto Insurance has contacted us. No information regarding how much will be reimbursed has been disclosed.) I have lived here for 34 years. I survived Hurricane Sandy, ice storms, vehicles striking utility poles and never suffered any losses due to power outages and/or power surges. I have hit a brick wall trying to find an answer as to why my home was a target for this massive power surge. I can only assume that PECO did or failed to do something that caused this horrific event. What is the secret that PECO is running away from??
