“Our crews are out in full force, and they’re responding as quickly and safely as possible to get power back on for our customers across the province.”Teixeira said because of advanced warning, they readied their crews the night before for the anticipated cleanup. She said crews Friday are dealing with a mix of issues from fallen branches on lines to fallen trees leading to damaged hydro polls.

“There have been some pretty hard-hit areas, but what we’ve done is we’ve mobilized crews from other parts of the province,” she said. “So what that means is, as powers are stored in one area, those crews are then moved to a different area, where they can lend their help.” She said crews are working hard to repair all the damage Friday and restore power but said they will reassess later in the day to see if crews will need others to continue working throughout the night.
