Lightning and heavy rain have caused about 150 WEC members to lose power, with the greatest number in East Montpelier, Plainfield and Barre Town. Crews are working on restoring power, but flooding has impacted some roads which may delay restoration efforts in some areas.
Remember: if you see lines down, do not touch or approach them. They could still be energized. Please report any downed wires or trees by calling WEC immediately at 1-802-223-5245 or 1-800-932-5245.
