More than 400 Randolph Electric customers were left without power Sunday after a large tree fell across power lines in the Eastwood area.
According to officials, the tree came down along near Esther Road, bringing power lines with it and knocking out service to a significant portion of the community.
Crews were on scene working to clear the tree and restore the downed lines. Esther Road was closed for over an hour while work was being done.
Randolph Electric has not yet provided an estimated time of full restoration.
