Power Outages Across New England: A Comprehensive Map and Updates
Are you tired of the dark and cold? Hundreds of thousands of residents in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire are facing the same challenge.
After a severe winter storm brought heavy snowfall and high winds, many areas are still grappling with power outages. The impact is particularly severe in Cape Cod and the Islands, where an intense snow/wind blitz and wind speeds over 70 mph have left many without power.
But here's where it gets controversial...
While some towns, like Provincetown, Truro, Wellfleet, Eastham, and Brewster, were completely without power on Monday night, others, including Chatham, Orleans, and Falmouth, had more than 90% of customers still without power on Tuesday morning. This disparity in the impact of the storm raises questions about the preparedness and response of local authorities.
