Hawthorne noted that with Election Day on Tuesday, crews will be prepared to restore power to any polling places in the area that may experience any outages.
“Wind gusts of up to 50 mph are toppling trees and limbs onto power lines and causing service interruptions,” Ryan Hawthorne, Assistant Vice President of Electric Engineering and Operations for Central Hudson said.
“Our crews are addressing outage reports as safely and efficiently as possible. We are reminding residents stay at least 30 feet away from downed powerlines and to assume that any downed line is live.”
