Five Things: Meadowbrook Open House

High Winds, Power Outages? If you have lost power, chances are you aren’t looking at your computer … but if you do have access to your computer and the internet and would like to check in with National Grid, here’s a link. If you do have an outage or troublesome downed limbs, give me a call (924-4233) or send me an email (elizabeth.mcnamara@patch.com).
