Eversource spokesman Martin Murray said the first calls came in around noon on Tuesday. He said 11,490 customers were without power at 4:30 p.m., with 638 in Gilford and 391 in Laconia. “Crews are attending to the outages as quickly as they can, and our intention is to keep the crews working into the evening. As the ice accumulated on the trees and branches, some broke, coming down on transmission lines and hitting electrical equipment. “We try to restore power to as many customers as you can as quickly as you can, so we attack the major issues first.
