Severe storm causes power outages in 500,000 homes


A powerful storm in New England nearly 500,000 homes, businesses, and administrative offices were without power Wednesday so far after the storm hit the area with violent winds destroying trees and power lines and officials warned that it could take several days to restore electricity, according to "NBC News".

In Massachusetts, about 448,000 people were unable to move outside their homes at 6 p.m. The state's Emergency Management Agency warned of several days of power-recovery efforts and Rhode Island had about 42,000 blackouts, according to energy-tracking website poweroutage.us.

Meteorologists said parts of the Massachusetts coast had winds of 80 miles per hour or more as it was hit by a Category 1 hurricane with winds of 74 miles per hour or more.

The National Weather Service Boston has warned of a dangerous situation near the southeast of the main east coast highway.

The Met Office warned on Twitter that many trees had fallen and added that hurricane-force winds are blowing across southeastern Massachusetts, so it is not advisable to travel early this morning in southeastern "Massachusetts".

Massachusetts Governor "Charlie Baker" said his administration is working with utilities to speed up recovery time but crews are still assessing the level of damage and Baker warned if you're in an affected community, please use caution: Check your neighbors, stay off broken power lines and stay off the roads.

The storm caused flooding in New York and New Jersey as emergency services carried out dozens of rescue operations, and fire officials in Doxbury, Massachusetts, said there was significant damage and that about 94% of the coastal city of about 15,000 people lost power.

New York City saw more than 4 inches of rain in midtown Manhattan and Brooklyn saw more than 5 inches over the course of 48 hours which is roughly an October average of 4.68 inches.

  Tesla stock After Elon Musk became the richest person in the world thanks to the recent rise of Tesla shares, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas said that SpaceX will push Musk to become a "trillionaire." The space exploration company is challenging any preconceived notion of what was feasible and the possible timeframe, in terms of rockets, launch vehicles and supporting infrastructure who can catch up, Jonas added in a note entitled SpaceX Jump Fast forward. SpaceX now makes up less than 17% of Musk's net worth of $241.4 billion, according to the Bloomberg Rich List, after the company was valued at $100 billion in a secondary stock sale earlier in October. Jonas, who currently values SpaceX for $200 billion, added that he views it as a multi-company, encompassing space infrastructure, Earth observation, deep space exploration and other industries.
