As of Monday morning, there are still around 90,000 power outages across Connecticut.
As of 6 a.m. Monday, Eversource reported more than 87,000 of its customers were still without power.
United Illuminating officials reported 2,657 outages - less than 1 percent of its customers.
UI said power restoration “will be substantially complete by the end of the day Monday.”
Eversource said power should be “substantially” restored by 11:59 p.m. Tuesday.

Media: Patrick SikesEversource has posted a list of expected restoration times here.
Tropical Storm Isaias already ranks among some of the most destructive storms in Connecticut’s recent history.
The state estimates peak outages from the storm at more than 1 million, with more than 800,000 at Eversource.
When a Nor’easter swept through Connecticut in 2011 and left about 830,000 residents without electricity, it took Eversource nearly a week to restore power.
