MA Power Outages, Logan Flight Delays, Damage In Blustery Storm

More than 8,000 in Massachusetts are still without power following a blustery storm across the region that ripped down trees and affecting air travel. The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency said that 8,757 customers were without power as of 10 p.m.

Several towns in Plymouth County were among the hardest-hit, some of which still had hundreds without power as of Thursday night. Earlier in the day, Swansea had the most outages with more than 2,500.

There were several traffic impacts around the state. On I-93 North, a tractor trailer became disabled across all lanes, hurting the evening commute.

Several communities endured wind gusts that would classify as hurricane-strength. Blue Hills has the high mark at 83 m.p.h, according to the National Weather Service. That's the highest wind gust ever recorded on Jan. 24.

Due to the high winds, dozens of flights in and out of Logan were delayed.

The winds also caused storm damage all around. If you have a photo of storm damage in your area, send it to patchyphotos@gmail.com with your name and location so we can feature it on Patch. Patch will update this story throughout the day.
