    With wind gusts topping out at over 50 mph, rain and broken or toppled trees on power lines, power companies were called out in force on Saturday, Sept. 16 as tropical storm Lee caused thousands of power outages around the state. Work crews worked diligently to restore power and, by Monday morning, all Central Maine Power customers in Lincoln County had their power restored, according to CMP’s website.
