Thousands left without power as storm moves through New Hampshire
CONCORD, N.H. – As of 9:30 a.m., around 13,000 customers are without power across New Hampshire as a storm brings rain and ice to the area.
Parts of New Hampshire including Belknap, Carroll, Grafton, Merrimack, Strafford and Sullivan counties remain under a Winter Storm Warning issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) until 7 p.m. Monday. Cheshire, Coos, Hillsborough and Interior Rockingham counties remain under a Winter Storm Advisory until 7 p.m. Monday.
“If you lose power, keep you and your family safe,” said Robert Buxton, Director of the New Hampshire Department of Safety’s Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. “Never run a generator indoors. If you come across downed wires, stay away and call 911. Utility crews are out working hard to restore outages as they happen. If you come across a crew on the road, give them room to work.”
Report power outages to your utility provider every 24 hours until it is restored:
- Eversource: 1-800-662-7764
- Liberty Utilities: 1-855-349-9455
- NH Electric Co-op: 1-800-343-6432
- Unitil: 1-888-301-7700
Buxton makes the following safety recommendations:
If you come across traffic lights that are out, treat the intersection like a four-way stop.
Stay informed by signing up for NH Alerts and monitoring National Weather Service radio or broadcast weather reports.
Use flashlights, rather than candles, for emergency lighting.
Drivers should use extra caution, go slow and be alert for working crews.
Never run a generator inside a building or in an enclosed space and keep them 20 feet away from buildings with the exhaust pointed away.
