Frustrations are mounting as power remains out in Ledyard after the storm.
Thousands of people in Ledyard remain without power Tuesday and are in the dark for a second day after a powerful storm caused outages Sunday night. With power out and wires down, the mayor is in touch with the company and might recommend postponing trick-or-treating until Friday night.
He wrote that the utility company was not doing enough and that there would be no school Tuesday, and there is a chance there will be no trick-or-treating. Dozens of trees and wires went down around town, initially leaving 5,400 in the dark – that’s 80 percent of town.
Eversource crews have been making an effort to restore power and the mayor is in touch with crews to determine where the company is with restoration.
"I'm not confident the wires and everything will be back up and I'm just very concerned about child safety, that walking around, particularly in the dark, with potentially live wires on the ground, it's just not a good recipe for a fun night," Allyn said.
