Open Story: Irene's aftermath

(CNN) -- Slightly more than 580,000 customers from North Carolina to Maine are still without power as a result of the damage caused by Hurricane Irene, according to estimates released Friday by the U.S. Department of Energy.

 

Over 100,000 customers have had electric power restored since Thursday afternoon.

Over 6.4 million customers lacked power at the height of the outages, the department noted.

 

The rate of recovery from the storm has varied sharply up and down the Eastern Seaboard. Irene killed 43 people from Florida to New England while dumping torrential rain. Some of the worst flooding struck Vermont, New Jersey and upstate New York.
