Power Restoration Efforts Continue After Rain, Wind

Utility crews are back on the job two days after high winds knocked out power to homes and businesses across northern New England.

Martin Murray of Eversource told WMUR-TV that the damage from Friday night's storms was significant and often involved entire trees coming down on power lines. The company reported 861 New Hampshire customers without power Sunday morning, and had extra crews from Connecticut and Massachusetts helping with the recovery efforts.

In Vermont, Green Mountain Power was still working to restore power to about 2,300 customers Sunday. Central Maine Power had about 1,450 customers without power Sunday.
