MONTICELLO – Over 5,000
customers of New York State Electric and Gas lost power late Monday morning

In Sullivan County, 4,087 customers in Fallsburg, Neversink, and Thompson
lost power at 10:42 a.m. when a land clearing contractor dropped a tree

was restored to all customers by 11:53 a.m.
In an unrelated incident, 80 customers in Walden lost power at noon with
service expected to be restored later in the day. The cause of that outage
