Storms, ospreys cause 6,000 CMP power outages Sunday

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • August 4, 2024

On Sunday morning about 6,000 Central Maine Power customers across eight counties woke up to power outages as storms swept parts of southern and central Maine, but it wasn’t all because of the rain. A nesting osprey disturbed electrical wires in Camden, which caused a large outage in Knox County, while other parts of the state lost power because of storms.
