National Grid Customers in Seekonk Still Without Power

Crews from National Grid continue their resoration process after a pre-Halloween storm smacked into Massachusetts leaving 400,000 customers in Massachusetts without power and resulted in a State of Emergency. More than 1,000 of those customers were in Attleboro.

“First and foremost, we urge customers to be safe," National Grid Massachusetts President Marcy Reed said. "Having snow of this magnitude this early is an unusual event for us even in Massachusetts, but National Grid has been poised and ready to meet this winter season head-on."

"We are in full restoration mode,” she added. “It’s our job to provide safe and reliable energy to our customers and during adverse events, our role is heightened."

The company continues to ask that people stay clear of downed wires inclulding telephone, fiber optic and cable TV wires because they may be energized.

Contractor crews from as far away as North Carolina, Michigan and Ohio are aiding in the response. The company expects to have estimated restoration times available later today or early Monday. For folks in Seekonk and nearby Seekonk that's not good news.

Beatrice Horton Hartling of Seekonk said she lost power last night and it was restored by 7 a.m. this morning. Patrick Turner, also of Seekonk, was not so lucky. He was still without power as of 2 p.m. today.

Amy Diaz of Attleboro said she lost power off of Oakhill Avenue at midnight and as of 1 p.m. still was without power.

John Collins of Attleboro said there was no power at Thacher Street near Lamb as of 3 p.m.

Lindsey Juaire-Vero of Attleboro said she can't get through to National Grid when she does is greeted with a message that says many people are calling.

Lori Savard of Attleboro said she lost power from 1 a.m. to 4:15 a.m. and then again from 11:15 a.m. to 5:10 p.m. The good news? She got power just after 5 p.m.
