Critical Infrastructure Disruption in USA (VERMONT) on November 29 2018 04:08 AM (UTC).

Hundreds of lineworkers are working around the clock, and so far, have restored power to more than 75,000 customers after a heavy wet snowstorm slammed Vermont starting Monday night. In all, more than 97,000 customers have lost power during this storm and in some areas, the outage totals continue to come in with new damage. GMP estimates (as of about 5 pm Wednesday) most of the remaining customers will have power back on by Friday night, but some outages in the hardest hit areas of Vermont may last into Saturday, or in some cases Sunday...

"The damage is widespread, the conditions are still hazardous, we are still getting new outages," said Mary Powell, GMP's president, and CEO. "We want our customers to know we are working hard, but given the severe damage over hundreds of miles, getting the job done could take days. Crews spent a lot of time yesterday working with emergency responders just to clear trees and get roads open safely. Crews are making a lot of progress, but in some locations, they've restored power only to have more trees knock it out again."...
