Hurricane Sandy Day 4: Where The Crews At?

A compilation of where tree and lines crews were seen on Thursday. This story will be updated.

It's the fourth day since Hurricane Sandy struck and news from CL&P this morning was that 60% of Monroe is still without power. The timetable for the entire state is for power to be restored by Monday or Tuesday.

The question everyone wants answered is where the crews working in Monroe are today. This is difficult information to get as Department of Public Works and CL&P crews work on the fly, tackling areas of a town where hundreds of trees have fallen and even more could come down.

Monroe Patch Facebook visitors were asked to share information of sightings of crews with their neighbors and Patch will add any info it gets throughout the day. Here's what people are saying so far:
