A & N Electric Update

Press Release #8

Hurricane Sandy Update
October 31, 2012
5:00 PM

The total number of members without service is approximately 200, which has changed little since this morning's update. The vast majority of accounts without service this evening are from new outages. There are a significant number of leaning trees and broken limbs that have fallen throughout the day creating new storm related damage. In this manner, Hurricane Sandy is similar to the December 1998 ice storm which continued creating new outages once the storm had passed.

All service interruptions that were created during the Hurricane on Monday should be restored by the end of today. New service interruptions caused by falling limbs or trees will be addressed as they are received. If you see a tree leaning toward the electric lines or spot a broke limb that might fall and damage the electric line please let us know. Should you find a low hanging or fallen wire please stay away from the wire and call the cooperative at 800-431-2632 or 757-787-9750.

We at A&N Electric Cooperative thank you for your patience as we restore service following Hurricane Sandy.

**Thank you for the awesome job, and for what is continued being done on Virginia Eastern Shore  by A & N and out of town electric crews** jmmb
