The number of power outages in Connecticut keeps climbing and they're saying on TV it's going to take a long time to restore electricity to some areas.
Light & Power serves 1.2 million customers in 149 of Connecticut's 169 towns.
That's a lot and hurricane Irene caused outages in most areas of CT. Any idea when are they going to restore their service completely?
Despite the progress in restoring electricity to some, there are still many customers who remain affected by the power outages.
Light and Power is doing everything it can to take care of it. Restoration crews worked overnight Sunday in CT and on Monday, approximately 200 crews were responding to separate reported outages.
Light and Power recommends that for your own safety, you should remain indoors and stay far away from utility lines and other electrical equipment that can harm you.
The hardest hit areas of CT could remain without power for more than a week.
