Maine Governor Mills assesses flood damage and power outage crisis, warns of potential Christmas without electricity

More than 250,000 customers in Maine are still without power following a devastating storm that caused widespread flooding. The restoration efforts have been hindered by fallen trees, power lines, and flooding waterways, including the Androscoggin and Kennebec Rivers, which are experiencing 100-year floods. Governor Janet Mills has declared a State of Civil Emergency and is touring impacted areas. It is estimated that some customers may have to wait several more days before their electricity is restored.
