SITUATIONAL AWARENESS STATEMENT #3
October 17, 2019
Re: Powerful Coastal Storm to Impact MA Wednesday Night into Thursday Morning
SITUATION
The State EOC and all three Regional EOCs remain activated and continuously monitoring the response efforts. MEMA field responders are supporting the most impacted communities in the field.
A strong, damaging wind event impacted the Commonwealth overnight, with the greatest impacts in southeastern MA, and the Cape and Islands. The high winds associated with this event resulted in sporadic road closures and widespread electric customer outages (leaving several hundred thousand residents without power) due to downed tree limbs and wires. The most significant power outages are being experienced by National Grid and Eversource customers. The threat of high sustained winds will continue throughout the day which is expected to result in additional power outages.
Weather Forecast
The National Weather Service reports that it will be windy during the daylight hours today, Thursday, October 17, 2019, but winds will not be at the magnitude of last night. Nevertheless west winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts to around 45 mph may be strong enough to down additional small tree limbs and branches, especially over Cape Cod and the Islands, where winds may gusts up to 55 mph. At the very least this will have some impact on power restoration efforts today. Thus a wind advisory has been posted until 5 pm today for all of Massachusetts. Toward sunset and especially thereafter, winds will begin to diminish.

Glad to participate in the first Disability Mentoring Day program today at the State House along with Chairwoman Kay Khan and HHS Secretary MaryLou Sudders and many colleagues. The program included numerous disability related agencies and more than two dozen employers. Mentoring is the first step on the path to employment and a crucial link in the process. Thanks to State House ADA Coordinator Carl Richardson and Waverly Place for helping to organize this event! ... See MoreSee Less
