Here’s where you can track power outages being reported in Massachusetts
Forecasters and state officials are warning that the strong winds and heavy, wet snow from the nor’easter that hit the region Wednesday have caused hazardous conditions and power outages with downed trees and power lines.
The National Weather Service said Thursday morning that while the strongest winds have passed, the “biggest threat will be for downed limbs, power lines on top of hazardous wintry weather conditions.”
“With several communities experiencing power outages and downed trees, the administration is urging residents to stay off roadways and to use public transportation when possible,” Gov. Charlie Baker said.
As of 7 a.m., the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency said there were more than 300,000 businesses and homes without power in the state. MEMA is tracking power outages town-by-town. See their outage map here.
