High Winds Cause Havoc For Charlotte County

The high winds are wreaking havoc for NB Power crews who are busy with downed poles, wires and power outages.

Currently, NB Power's website says there are 3385 people without juice in Charlotte County.
The hardest hit area in Charlotte County is the Dufferin area outside of St. Stephen with 884 without power.

We have several tips to our 466-2222 News Line of a large spruce tree, approximately 50 feet long, that has toppled over power lines and is covering 3/4 of the road in Chamcook. The tree is positioned by the Clamdigger Take-out and NB Power crews have surrounded the tree with pylons until they are able to take care of the issue.

Every area from St. Stephen through to St. Andrews and Bayside, clear to St. George and surrounding areas has been affected by power outages.
