Originally Published 2 years ago — by WCVB Boston
Power restoration in Massachusetts following a severe storm could take multiple days, as utility providers Eversource and National Grid bring in additional crews from out of state to assist. The storm brought heavy rainfall and strong winds, resulting in downed trees, utility poles, and power lines. As of Monday night, approximately 190,617 customers were still without power. Crews are prioritizing emergency calls, hospitals, and critical care facilities, and will assess damage and make repairs where conditions are safe.
