National Grid is reporting that more than 4,000 people inNorwood, Clifton, Russell and Moristown are without power in St. Lawrence County this afternoon.

The high winds are the suspected culprit in the outages. People have also been reporting intermitent and momentary iterruptions in the windy conditions around the region today.

According to the power delivery company's outage map, more than 4,000 people have lost power, including nearly 700 in the town of Clifton, about 900 in Russell, and 1,800 in Stockholm.

That does not include those without power around a downed tree about halfway between Hopkinton and Nicholville along State Rt. 11B near Mosher Road, according to Hopkinton Fire Department ex-chief Ron Streeter.

"Two or three poles are messed up and some wires are down," Streeter said. He said power was out at the fire station but that they had their generator going.

In his estimation, "there is no danger to the, public as far as the roads are concerned," and there has been no fire there and no one had been hurt.

National Grid says a crew has been assigned to the Norwood outage, which affects 77 people. They expected service to be restored around 2:45 p.m. today.

In Clifton, National Grid says 82 people have been without power since 11:18 a.m. today.

Their outage map says there is no crew assigned and they are "assessing condition" in the other outage areas.
