Many of those impacted will see their power restored today, however, due to new power interruptions caused by the severe weather and the extent of the damage –— including numerous broken poles — NYSEG expects that some customers are expected to be without power into the weekend.

NYSEG reminds people to stay far away from any downed power lines.

“Even lines that appear ‘dead’ can be deadly,” said Mark Leta, NYSEG’s manager of regional operations.

NYSEG customers should call 1-800-572-1131 to report downed power lines or other hazardous situations.
