On Sunday morning about 6,000 Central Maine Power customers across eight counties woke up to power outages as storms swept parts of southern and central Maine, but it wasn’t all because of the rain.

The National Weather Service in Gray issued a flash flooding warning for parts of Cumberland and York Counties through 10 a.m. on Sunday.

The Westbrook Fire Department told commuters on Facebook Sunday morning to avoid the area of William Clark Drive and Mechanic Street. “Flooding has caused multiple cars to stall out or hydroplane,” the department said.

A dispatcher confirmed that the flooding was cleaned up and the road reopened around noon.

Crews restored power for the vast majority of those affected by 6:30 p.m., with just under 100 statewide outages reported.

The morning started off with around 750 outages due to storm activity and shot up to more than 3,000 after nesting ospreys disturbed electrical wires in Camden.

The osprey activity knocked out power in about 3,200 homes and businesses in Knox County, said CMP spokesperson Jon Breed. Crews had restored all of the Knox County outages by evening.

Knox County had the most reported outages Sunday morning and Cumberland had reported 382 customers without power. Kennebec County had just under 10 customers without power.

The company was updating its electricity outage list throughout the day. That list is available online.

By Sunday afternoon, most outages had been repaired and the number dropped to 651 by 1 p.m. But the number went back up to 1,990 around 1:45 p.m. because of a downed tree in Franklin County, Breed said.

Breed said a total of about 6,000 customers lost power Sunday because of the ospreys and storms.
