Communities across the Northeast are continuing to recover from this week’s rain and flooding. Eversource crews finished restoring New Hampshire power Thursday night. Friday morning a dozen volunteer crews left for central Maine for the same reason. This past storm left a million people in the Northeast without power and 33,000 Eversource customers are still waiting to be turned on in central Maine. There are about 100 Eversource employees in the state, and are not sure if they will be home before Christmas Day on Monday.”We did last Christmas here and it’s tough,” said Dan Powers, a Foreman in the Eversoucre Tilton District.”I got three young kids at home. We’re leaving them, but they understand why we’re doing it,” he continued. At the height of the storm, there were more than 400,000 Eversource customers in central Maine without power.
