UPDATE: As of 6 a.m. Monday there are around 3,266 people still without power in southeast Wisconsin.
WE Energies officials say more than fifty thousand people have power again as of noon Sunday after crews from around the state, including specialized electric and forestry crews, are working on restoration efforts.
Around thirty-eight thousand people were still without power Sunday morning after powerful winds and rain tore through the area overnight.
Viewers have reported trees, branches and wires down along with other damage across the area Sunday.
According to the WE Energies outage map, a number of the outages still have crews on the scene working to repair any damage and restore power to the area.
Crews are coming across damaged electric equipment from falling trees and limbs.
Customers should stay at least 25 feet away from any downed wires, and report the downed wire to We Energies or a local law enforcement agency right away.
We Energies has restored power to more than 75,000 customers from Sunday’s wind storm. We have crews from across Wisconsin and the Midwest — including specialized electric and forestry crews — working around the clock on restoration efforts.
More than 95% of customers who lost power will have their power restored or outage assigned by midnight tonight. The remaining customers — including those in the hardest hit areas of Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties that require special crews — will have power restored the first part of tomorrow.
Customers can get the latest information for their outage, including restoration updates, on our online outage map or the We Energies app.
