There were 1,570 customers with no power in Cumberland County and only 27 in York County.
Central Maine Power reports its crews worked through the night to restore power to 33,000 customers, which would mean more than 85,000 customers were without power ay one time.. The utility says more than 100 crews will continue working Friday.
CMP is blaming fallen trees during Thursday’s storm as one reason for the high number of outages.
