Wide spread power outage envelops the Shore

At approximately 7:29 am Wednesday,  a power failure interrupted service throughout the Shore. The outage was caused by the failure of the main power lines in the Oak Hall area. ANEC is on the scene but it is not known exactly when the power will be restored.  WESR can be monitored on any car radio,  portable battery powered radio and on the Eastern Shore Radio app.

As of 8:45 56% of the ANEC customers were without service.

ANEC spokesman Jay Diem said “we’re currently working to restore power to some sections affected by the outage. We estimate the duration of the outage will be about 3-4 hours in some cases. Members who are in closer proximity to the transmission issue could potentially experience a longer outage.”
