Ice Storm Power Restoration Update
Tuesday, February 18, 2025
We ended the day, Monday, with 244 outages down from a high of 544.
Restoration
Crews are working through the night at the Chestnut Woods (top) and Sport Hill outage areas (pictured here at 1:30 am on Tuesday). The restoration time for Chestnut Woods is currently 8:15 am Tuesday. I spoke briefly with a worker on Sport Hill. There is no estimated time of restoration (ETR) for the Sport Hill outage area. Chestnut Hill and Sport Hill combined account for 213 of the 244 remaining outages.

Safety
Stay away from downed wires and trees. Assume any wire you see is a live wire.
* Keep freezers and refrigerators closed.
* Use generators outdoors and at least 20 feet away from building openings.
* Stay fire safe. Do not use a gas stove to heat your home.
* Unplug appliances and electronics to avoid damage from electrical surges.
* Make a plan for refrigerating medicines and powering medical devices.
* If safe, go to an alternate location for heat or cooling.
* Keep mobile phones and electronic equipment charged before a power outage.
