Electrical power restoration progress: As of publication all roadways within the Town are open and passable to vehicle traffic.

If you encounter lane closures or closed areas caused by power restoration crews please slow down and obey all flagmen so they may maintain a safe working are. These crews are working around the clock to restore your power. Please, make every effort to be courteous to them as most of these crews are from other areas of the country and have traveled here to help us.
