MA Power Outages: 11K Still In The Dark After 70 MPH Wind Gusts
Power is starting to come back after Friday's intense winds, but emergency crews are still dealing with downed wires and trees.

Power is slowly coming back, but tens of thousands of customers remain in the dark after Friday's intense winds knocked out power in communities across eastern and central Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency said there were 11,245 without power as of 10 a.m. Saturday. At the height of the 70-plus mph winds, nearly 100,000 across the state were in the dark.
Stoughton was hardest hit by the storm with 12,561 customers losing power. That was 98 percent of the entire town. Power has slowly come back as the number has shrinked to 324 people in the dark, but emergency officials still face challenges including downed wires, a water main break and a utilty pole on top of a car. In Barnstable, 9,835 suffered outages.
One injury was reported when debris fell from a building on Causeway Street near TD Garden in Boston, but the injury wasn't serious, according to Boston first responders.
