"Severe Storm Ravages Northeast, Leaving Thousands Without Power"

Tens of thousands of people in Southern New England are without power after a powerful storm brought heavy rain and strong winds, causing scattered power outages and damage. The Providence hurricane barrier was closed, several schools closed due to power outages, and travel was impacted with restrictions on bridges and delays in ferry and Amtrak services. Utility crews are working to restore power, and most outages are expected to be addressed by the end of the day.
