BOSTON (AP) - A few thousand customers in Massachusetts remain without power two days after a violent nor’easter brought blizzard conditions, two feet of snow and hurricane force winds to the state.
State emergency management officials reported about 4,900 outages as of 8 p.m. Thursday, most of them on Cape Cod and areas south of Boston, where winds were highest.
As many as 250,000 homes and businesses were without power at the height of Tuesday’s storm.
Eversource said on Twitter earlier in the day that the utility hoped to have electricity restored in the New Bedford area and Martha’s Vineyard by midnight. The goal was to have power restored in Plymouth and Cape Cod by midnight Friday.
