  • Estimated times of power restoration for the remaining customers can be found on our outage map. However, this excludes Miller Island and Taylor Island. Drone footage of these two areas revealed extensive damage to infrastructure. Estimated times of power restoration will be provided, when available.
  • As power is restored, customers may experience momentary outages due to switching and load transfers.
