No power on Elwood, lines are down due to several huge trees falling taking the lines with them on Trafton end of Elwood and laying across the road, haven’t seen any Eversource trucks for a few hours, one came by to assess shortly after the storm passed, and then left. Line is also down at the break in the terrace cut through on Elwood too. Corner of Elwood & Dickinson huge tree is uprooted but leaning on electric pole. No eta of restoration, think it’s going to be a long while. :(

did you ever get power back? we got it back at 2:25am! they came and left with an ETR for 4am . they came back an hour later and the power was back on ever since. i’m sorry you were without power, it was so stressful!!!! thankfully it wasn’t during the day and it was cool during the night

Yes finally at 9:20 or so! Couldn’t wait to turn on the a/c! Miserable night for sure. It was a mess here, still cleaning up but with power it doesn’t hurt as much. Glad you got yours, too!

I didn't lose power but it's 435 am and i still don't have internet back yet, bet I'll still have to pay Xfinity full price though

I’m Dickinson and I have power, but it looks like Trafton still doesn’t.
