New Bedford's landmark 'cigarette' smokestack came down in a scheduled implosion on Friday morning, and Mayor Jon Mitchell caught the moment on video.

Two New Bedford roads will be briefly closed tomorrow afternoon as workers demolish the former Eversource/Sprague power plant on the waterfront.

An explosion caused by a squirrel shorting out an Eversource switch near Alden Road caused a brush fire and widespread power outages in Fairhaven.

Hundreds of households in Wareham lost power before 8 a.m. Wednesday in an outage that an Eversource spokesman said was caused by a nesting osprey.

Power outages caused by downed power lines from strong wind gusts early Tuesday morning are being reported across the SouthCoast.

Power outages in New Bedford early Monday morning saw thousands of residents in the city's South End and other areas lose electricity for reasons that Eversource attributed to equipment issues.

The utility says higher rates are needed because of the surging costs of natural gas used to power its electric plants.

Many SouthCoast residents are still without power today after a nor'easter hammered the region Wednesday — and Eversource said that some could stay that way until Saturday.

Emergency responders from the Attleboro Fire Department evacuated residents of a large housing complex on Thursday afternoon after a gas leak was discovered outside.

The effects from Tropical Storm Henri are being felt in New Bedford and all around the SouthCoast since this morning.
