Comment on Thousands still without power after powerful winds strike Maine

More than 20,000 homes and businesses remain without electricity in Maine and New Hampshire on Wednesday following a massive windstorm. Gusts reaching in excess of 70 mph whipped trees, rattled windows and hampered power restoration efforts on Tuesday. By Wednesday morning, more than 15,000 customers in Maine and more than 7,000 customers in New Hampshire remained without electricity. In New Hampshire, the winds blew down a tent at a COVID-19 vaccination site and caused a scary moment when power lines fell on school bus.
