Power outages, road closures persist across Midcoast two days after historic storm

TIMES RECORD • December 20, 2023

Thousands of people across the Midcoast, including entire communities, were still without power and the heavily traveled Frank J. Wood Bridge linking Brunswick and Topsham remained closed Wednesday afternoon due to Monday’s historic storm. The storm, which drenched the region and whipped up 60-plus mph winds, killed two Mainers who were hit by falling tree limbs and knocked out power to more than 400,000 across the state. Central Maine Power said Wednesday morning it had restored power to 201,000 customers across the state.
