Damage Assessment - June 2, 2011


Tree trimming crews in to help remove tress so power can be restored and roads traveled.

one house gone, one standing

I had a real privilege today.  Devastating tornadoes ripped through western MA yesterday killing 4 people, injured many others and destroying peoples homes.  Power was out to around 40,000 customers at the peak of the event.  I got to go up in the helicopter to help assess the damage to the power system.  Our crews are doing an amazing job restoring power as quickly as they can safely work.

It really saddened me to the devastation to people's homes.  The Red Cross is collecting donations if you are moved by any of these images.  They are a great way to help!
