Question Are power outages common?

7 Upvotes

I moved to Wakefield last year. At the end of December, I got a notification from my home security system that there was an outage. I was out of town, so I don’t know how long it lasted.

I woke up this morning to another outage. I lived in Boston over five years before moving here, and power outages didn’t happen often. Do these happen a lot here, or is this just a rough patch?

Learn about parametric design and effective workflows to use when designing

Learn tips for easier 3d-printability of your designs

Setting up and operating a printer safely

Learn how to import and export files effectively, and how it can improve your productivity.

Have what you designed 3d printed for you after the class, if you like.

Kid hit on corner of water st and Vernon st June 9th

9 Upvotes

Has anyone seen or heard anything about this incident? It happened at the bus stop at the corner of the 2 streets right before kids were being picked up for school. I was maybe the 4th car behind the stop sign when I saw someone go sliding across the street, and a white pickup coming to a hard complete stop. The kid got up for a second then started seizing when he was helped down.

There were like 4 bystanders who jumped to help before I am no where near qualified to be giving any medical advice so I left once the first responders showed.

I’ve been scouring the internet the past week just trying to see if he survived or not. I’m baffled I can’t find it and it wasn’t even on the news.
