NORTH CAPE MAY – A power outage that caused about 450 residences and businesses in North Cape May to lose power for about two hours Monday, Nov. 20, might have been due to a tree limb that fell on a primary electrical supply wire.

Frank Tedesco, a spokesperson for Atlantic City Electric, said a power outage occurred in the vicinity of Gorham Avenue in North Cape May at around 3:10 p.m., Nov. 20. He said while the cause was still being investigated, a large tree limb was found lying on the primary wire. The limb was cleared from the wire and power was restored at 5:08 pm.
