Maritime Electric, P.E.I.'s main electrical utility, has close to 100 crews at work, many from out of province, but with so many trees down on the lines and 488 power poles known to be destroyed, progress is slow.
Maritime Electric reported 52,000 outages Wednesday afternoon. Its online outage map, which officials have said is not completely accurate because of rerouting of electricity being done to get customers back online quickly, was reading about 42,000 out Thursday morning.
That's down from 57,000 Wednesday morning.
