Severe storms moved through Washington and southern Allegheny counties around 1:30 Tuesday morning, packing lightning and strong winds.  There have been numerous reports of trees down and some minor flooding.  There were no reports of any injuries.  Washington County 9-1-1 tells WJPA News that lighting did strike a home in Cecil Township around 2 a.m.  Dispatchers say the strike blew out the windows in the attic of the home and a small fire did result. Firefighters quickly extinguished that blaze.  As of noon, West Penn Power was reporting just over 160 customers still without power.  The outages are widespread throughout the county.
