Power is coming back on, street-by-street and neighborhood-by-neighborhood across the Rochester area.
Rochester Gas and Electric now reports 13,370 people still waiting after working through a third night. That’s down from 120,000 at the worst.
AVANGRID — the parent company for both NYSEG and RG&E — says 
they’ve now had more than 4,000 line breaks discovered and have more than 2,500 line and forestry personnel working across the area. That includes the local crews, plus hundreds more 
from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New Hampshire, and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec. They’re staging at schools and parking lots all over the area…and they had power back to 80 percent of both customers last night. They say they’re on track to 90 percent restoration by tonight.
AVANGRID says since we called the storm “over” there have been 9,000 new outages as weakened limbs or trees kept on falling.
Lineman Randy Fletcher of O’Connell Electric says their big challenge is staying warm…and they also have to be very careful of people running generators. If they’re not correctly wired through a transfer switch, they can feed power back through the transformers on the poles and put high voltage on the lines.
Crews have put a temporary roof on Arcadia Middle School, which lost its roof during the storm Wednesday night
Greece has lifted its state of emergency but police are advising caution driving.
