Welsh: 4-7 days for power

Welsh police chief Tommy Chaisson said it would be 4-7 days before the city experienced a return to power. He said most of the work for restoration to this point involved clearing roads, a job largely done, he said.

He said on Monday that the national guard would take over the distribution of ice, food and water. He is also pursuing more national guard assistance for security around town.
