Most Southcoast Residents to Have Power Restored by Midnight

NEW BEDFORD - Most residents on the Southcoast that are still without electricity should see their power restored by tonight, although some exceptions may be possible.

Thousands of Greater New Bedford residents were left without electricity after a powerful Nor'Easter swept through Southeastern Massachusetts on Friday, bringing down tree limbs onto power lines and causing widespread damage.

Eversource crews have been working around the clock to restore power.

Outage report as of 7 a.m.:

Acushnet - 21
Dartmouth - 85
Fairhaven - 18
Freetown - 12
Marion - 132
Mattapoisett - 11
New Bedford - 20
Rochester - 877
Wareham - 277
Westport - 28

Eversource says most customers should have their lights turned on before midnight tonight.
