Evidently they haven’t closed the bridges, which is somewhat of a surprise.
Per NStar, 33,000 customers were without power at 5:30. By 6 p.m., most of Falmouth was without power, including huge chunks of Woods Hole, and parts of Yarmouthport, Dennis, Bourne, Harwich, Brewster, Marstons Mills, Centerville, Sandwich, and Wellfleet.
5 1/2 hours to go.
The kids called a little while ago, they’re scared, but fascinated.
A tree fell outside Emmeline’s window, but didn’t cause any damage (we’ll see tomorrow what happened to the fence). I’m not entirely surprised, was worried about that one because it’s on the North side of the house. If anything, I’m grateful that it’s down.
James is not pleased, a tree fell in the back yard, near the swing set.
I’m just glad that I had so many trees taken out a couple of years ago.
