Maine residents will have to get a little creative with their Thanksgiving festivities this year.
As many as 110,000 customers woke up on Thursday without power, but by 2 p.m., that number had been cut down to 65,200 customers, CNN reported.
Maine electricity authorities said they aren't sure when all of the power will be restored.
"Damage assessment is currently underway and estimated restoration times will be posted as damage is assessed," Emera, the state's second-largest utility company, said on its website.
Cumberland County, which has about 15,600 residents without power, is home to Portland, the largest city in the state.
"I don't have a generator, so I don't want this to go on too long. I would just like to keep it at a few hours at the most," Portland resident Harley Bassett said, according to WMTW.
Wednesday's nor'easter that blew snow onto power lines and trees, causing them to fall on electrical lines, is being blamed for the outages.
Residents are urged to keep emergency fuels for heat away from open flames, try not to use generators, camp stoves or grills indoors, ensure any generators that are used are grounded correctly and to keep refrigerators closed as much as possible to keep cold air in.
Residents took to Twitter to sound off about their power issues. Some are using propane grills to cook turkey, cutting stuffing by flashlight and watching Netflix on their phones. Despite the drawbacks, users seem to be staying positive and not letting it ruin their holiday fun.
