Storm Update: About 275 NB Power line and power crews continue to restore power and clear downed trees from lines in the province today. Post-tropical storm Arthur roared through the region on Saturday. The utility says the size of trees is causing special challenges because they are blocking access to some properties and require specialized equipment to be moved. In addition, storm-weakened trees continue to fall on lines, causing new outages. NB Power says several hundred customers saw their lights come back on last night, with several hundred more tonight and the rest by this weekend.
