How Do You Rate National Grid This Week? [Poll]

Electricity started to go out in Westborough as a rare Halloween snowstorm blew into town on Saturday, Oct. 29. On Monday morning, after many residents spent two chilly nights without power, Chief Alan Gordon reported that 57 percent of the town remained in the dark, or about 4,500 business and residential customers.

National Grid reported that it would be Thursday, Nov. 3, at 11:45 p.m. before power returned completely in Westborough.

Since that time, the electric has returned in small waves of neighborhoods across town. At 9:30 this morning, Gordon reported that 900 customers in town remain in the dark, four days after electricity went out.

Reaction to the National Grid response has varied greatly on the Westborough Patch Facebook page. Some are praising the efforts of National Grid during challenging circumstances. Others are wondering what century we live in that a 12-hour storm can knock out power for over four days.

We want to know what you think. In our poll question today, we ask, "How do you rate National Grid?" And please take a minute to tell us in the comments how long you were without power during the storm.
