North Shore Power Slowly Being Restored

Power outages across the North Shore were being restored into early Friday morning following the second nor'easter in a week. The outages were still severe in some towns, but the region was improving after a brutal morning and afternoon.

Newburyport still had 8,485 without power close to midnight. Salisbury had 5,445 - or 99 percent - in the dark.
