Over a Thousand Vermont Homes Still Without Power After Thanksgiving Storm
Vermont is grappling with the aftermath of a Thanksgiving storm that left over a thousand homes without power early Friday morning. Green Mountain Power, the state’s primary utility provider, announced that it has successfully restored power to approximately 15,000 customers since the storm hit. However, as of 10:15 a.m. today, there remain 1,802 customers still affected by outages under their service, while the Washington Electric Co-Operative reported an additional 727 customers without power.
Utility crews are actively working around the clock to restore electricity to those still facing disruptions, and officials expect to continue making progress throughout the day.
Residents can check the status of outages and view a complete list of affected areas through the utility’s online portal. The persistent outages highlight the storm’s impact, prompting officials to remind residents to stay safe and refrain from approaching downed power lines.
As restoration efforts continue, the community’s resilience is being tested but reflects the collaboration among utility crews and local authorities dedicated to restoring normalcy as quickly as possible in the wake of the severe weather.
Residents are encouraged to report any downed lines or hazards to the utility companies to assist in speeding up the recovery process. With restoration efforts underway, many hope to see power fully restored soon, as the area begins the recovery process from the recent storm.
For continuous updates on the power situation, residents are urged to follow local news outlets and the respective utility companies’ social media channels.
