"Massive Storm Causes Widespread Power Outages and Delays Restoration Efforts"

Central Maine Power is reporting that about 350,000 customers are without power following a powerful storm on Monday, which is more than half of their customer base. The high winds and tree damage are causing delays in the repair efforts, as many large trees need to be removed before line crews can restore power. CMP has brought in additional line and tree crews to assist with the restoration, but it is expected to be a multi-day effort. Some residents are hopeful to have power restored before Christmas.
