Eversource Preparing For Significant Snow And Wind

The Mid-Atlantic states are being clobbered by a major snow storm. On Saturday, it could be our turn.

Some forecasters have said Southeastern Massachusetts will receive only a "glancing blow," but Eversource spokesman Mike Durand says the utility is preparing for a major storm.

"We're hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. But that "glancing blow" they're referring to could turn into something more, so we're going to make sure we have crews and extra staff on hand, just in case," said Durand.

Saturday's storm will likely bring with it strong winds, increasing the chances of power outages in the region.

Durand says if you see a downed wire in your neighborhood, don't touch it. Instead, call 9-1-1.

To report an outage, call Eversource at 1-800-592-2000.
