200K+ Still Without Power In Mass. After Bomb Cyclone Nor'easter

Communities in Massachusetts are not out of the woods just yet. Hundreds of thousands remain without power as of 8 p.m. on March 3, 2018, with companies scrambling to restore service. Eversource reported nearly 140,000 without power including major outages on the Cape and minor outages in the metro Boston area.

Nearly 90 percent of the town of Wareham and more than 80 percent of Eastham are without power while more than 10,000 people in Barnstable and Falmouth are also in the dark.

Eversource noted on Twitter that its New Hampshire mobile command center as well as 70 line and service workers were deployed to the Bay State to assist on Cape Cod.

National Grid reported nearly 150,000 without power including more than half the company's customers in Plymouth County and more than a third in Norfolk and Bristol Counties. The company reported estimated restoration times for all three counties to be late Tuesday night. Essex County communities, about 6,400 customers, should see restoration on Sunday night. About 3,000 customers in Worcester and Suffolk Counties are still being assessed.

The storm forced hundreds of cancellations at Logan Airport and the storm also claimed its first fatality, according to news reports.

The National Weather Service reported flood and wind warnings on Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard with flooding in the afternoon and damage to some shoreline structures is likely.

A NWS advisory remains in place until Saturday night in most communities while coastal flooding warnings are expected to run through Sunday morning. The storm surges are expected to remain in the 2.5 to 3 feet range through Sunday.

"Although high tide will be less severe than the previous three ones, fairly widespread inundation is expected along vulnerable shore roads and basements with inundation depths as high as 2 or 3 feet in some spots," the NWS stated. "Some coastal roads may become impassable again for a time. In a few locations, flood waters from prior high tides may remain through the next high tide due to slow drainage. Also, some areas have become more vulnerable from the prior high tides, and high surf will persist from lingering large swells from the departing storm along ocean exposed shorelines."

Continued erosion erosion is expected in these areas due to the high surf on top of elevated water levels.

The New Hampshire/Vermont region of the American Red Cross has also deployed a number of workers to assist the growing number of disaster affected locations in the coastal communities of Massachusetts, according to spokesman Lloyd Ziel. The workers were in the process of delivery of food and supplies on Saturday and will continue through the weekend. They are also distributing snacks and water to disaster response workers.
