> This is Captain Mark Kordick of the Greenwich Police Department with an 
> important follow-up announcement from the Town of Greenwich Emergency 
> Operations Center. As most of you are aware, at approximately 10:00 
> a.m. this morning all of Greenwich lost electrical power when a large 
> electrical transmission line failed. The failure occurred as the 
> result of damage sustained in yesterday's severe thunderstorm. 
> 
> 
> As of 5:30 p.m., this evening, repairs effected by Connecticut Light 
> and Power emergency line crews have restored power to 94% of all CL&P 
> customers in Greenwich. Virtually all of the customers who currently 
> remain without electric service are customers who have been without 
> power since yesterday due to smaller localized outages caused in 
> yesterday's storms. These smaller repairs will remain on-going 
> throughout the evening until all customers are restored. CL&P is 
> estimating a 99% restoration rate within a few hours. 
> 
> 
> With over 90% of electrical service currently restored, the Office of 
> the First Selectman has ordered the local State of Emergency, which had 
> been declared at 10:15 this morning, to be lifted effective at 8:00 
> p.m. tonight. 
> 
> 
> Greenwich's Public Safety Agencies would like to extend our gratitude 
> to all of the Townspeople and other citizens who's cooperation helped 
> us manage yesterday's storm event and today's Townwide power outage 
> without loss of life or significant injury to any person. During 
> emergencies, your attention to messages like this one is vital and we 
> thank you for your caution and cooperation.
