(Stephen Iandoli, NECN: Epsom, NH) - A state of emergency has been declared in Epsom and other communities in New Hampshire that were hit hard by Thursday's vicious storm.

One fatality has been confirmed due to the storm. Hundreds of houses have been damaged in Epsom and the National Guard has been called in to help with the cleanup.

PSNH crews have a full day of work ahead of them in order to restore power to those customers impacted by the heavy wind storm Thursday.

The company is reporting about 1,000 customers in the Alton/Barnstead/Strafford area without power ... as well as about 100 customers in the area of Epsom/Northwood/Pittsfield. There are also an estimated 200 customers in Ossipee and nearby Effingham and Freedom.

Progress in slow due to the damage from trees, and the company is not expecting full restoration before Friday evening.

PSNH also experienced an unrelated problem at about 3:30 a.m. Friday which impact customers in Auburn/Chester/Derry area. Crews are addressing that situation.

NECN's Stephen Iandoli has the story from Epsom, New Hampshire.
