UPDATED 3:05 a.m.

As of 3 a.m., 20 percent of Framingham or 5,965 customers are without power. In Natick, 36 percent or more than 6,000 customers were still without power.

Still no official word why power is out to such a large portion of MetroWest. Power outages also reported in Sudbury and Wayland too.

If you are still awake, I'd recommend turning off and unplugging anything that was on when power went out before you go to bed, so when power is restored, you don't experience a surge and lose an appliance, TV, computer, etc.
