  • Days after power returned in some areas, many residents found their bills unchanged despite losing service during the widespread outage, prompting refund requests.
  • The storm uprooted trees, downed power lines, damaged homes and vehicles, and overturned a semi, leaving communities across the Region dealing with prolonged disruptions.
  • Cleanup and recovery have stretched on for weeks, with utility repairs, delayed bill relief from other providers and emergency food support underscoring the storm's broader toll.
