The damage and outages in my little bubble of MontCo are very reminiscent of the Sandy aftermath. We have many trees down, including my favorite tree in front of my apartment. 
I spent all night listening to limbs snapping and transformers blowing. We were very fortunate to retain power as many of my nearby friends are in the dark. I drove around this afternoon and it looks horrible.
I do have a cell tower nearby and we are still having some connection issues....I have heard the same from others in my area.
I think this county was declared a disaster area. Am I correct? I know we are in a State of Emergency, but some friends said we were declared a disaster.
Are you on Facebook? If so, I highly encourage you to follow Eastern PA Weather Authority. They are phenomenal, low on hype, and typically very accurate. They do have a website, but they are more active on Facebook with important weather updates.
It's going to get windy tonight, which may stress trees and wires, so stay safe!
