Yes the power is out near city park in Portsmouth. Thankfully it didn’t go out during the day. Otherwise we’d all be baking in our homes right about now.

What is Power Outage?

What are the Top Outage Safety Tips?

  • Stay away from the downed power lines, park vehicles in protected areas;
  • Unplug appliances and electronics, limit cell phone use to conserve battery life;
  • Use portable generators outdoors only, well away from open windows and doors;
