After Irene: Outages reducedas recovery begins in Maine
Central Maine Power Co. said Monday night that it will take several more days to restore electricity to all of its customers who lost power because of Tropical Storm Irene.
Across Maine on Sunday, Irene brought 2 to as much as 9 inches of rain, sustained winds of 40 mph and gusts up to 52 mph – enough to knock down trees and cut power to nearly 280,000 homes and businesses at some point during the storm.
CMP spokesman John Carroll said the scope of the damage and the number of customers affected – more than 110,000 were still without power at 9 p.m. Monday – have kept crews busy around the clock.
