Martha's Vineyard Power Outages: Hundreds Affected

MARTHA'S VINEYARD, MA — A "bomb cyclone" nor'easter knocked out power to hundreds on Martha's Vineyard Friday. As of 5:30 p.m., there were about 225 without power on Martha's Vineyard — most in West Tisbury, according to Eversource. More outages are expected later Friday into Saturday, as 60+ mph winds are anticipated.

The storm was expected to drop up to 6 inches of rain on parts of Southeastern Massachusetts, threatening coastal homes. Voluntary evacuations were ordered in Scituate, Duxbury and Plum Island. Governor Charlie Baker mobilized the National Guard and many coastal towns canceled school Friday.

Statewide, more than 180,000 lost power Friday.
