More Than 2,100 Without Power in Northern Maine

MILO, Maine - More than 2,100 customers are without power in northern Penobscot and Piscataquis counties as utility crews investigate an outage.

An Emera Maine spokeswoman says crews are in the Milo area determining what caused the outage, which began at about 7 a.m. Thursday. The utility anticipated power will be restored by late morning on Thursday. The spokeswoman says crews will work to restore power "as quickly and safely as possible.''

Emera Maine is asking residents who are using generators and alternate hearing sources during the power outage to follow safety guidelines.
