The FoxCreek community lost power again on 23-Sep-2022/3:40pm and was only restored on 25-Sep-2022/5:26pm ADT (49hours 46minutes) – roughly 17 hours before the (twice postponed) estimate.
The outages from yesterday and today happened way before hurricane #Fiona and hence are not related.
For a while a bigger outage from #Fiona overlayed our outage but got solved before.
The FoxCreek community and the whole South Shore got away easy from the passing of #Fiona and are much thankful about it.

cause not specified.
