Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The approaching nor'easter brings strong winds and heavy rain, posing a significant risk of power disruptions. Eversource faces operational challenges, as crews cannot use bucket trucks in high winds and flooded roads may impede repair efforts. The utility is actively mitigating these risks to maintain service.
