PORTLAND, Maine – Thousands of Central Maine Power customers are still without power Saturday after high winds took out power lines.

CMP reports nearly 13,000 outages and told CBS 13 that the outages tied to fresh tree damage, running mostly from the Midcoast north toward the Augusta area.

Those are areas that saw rain, saturated ground and strong winds Friday night.
