Crews are wrapping up restoration efforts following a nor’easter that caused hundreds of thousands of Central Maine Power customers to lose service on Thursday.

The combination of heavy, wet snow and strong winds brought down trees and branches, damaging poles and power lines throughout the area.

As of 7 a.m. Tuesday, CMP was reporting about 900 outages, with about 600 outages in York and Cumberland Counties combined.

An updated list of outages can be found at the company’s website.

CMP spokesman John Breed told WGAN Friday that about 375,000 customers lost power during the storm.
