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.

Donald Trump due to the wave of immigrants coming across the Mexican border poisoned the United States

  Former US President Donald Trump said the United States was "poisoned" by the wave of migrants coming across the border, and called for the resumption of construction of the border wall with Mexico Our country is poisoned by the millions of people who illegally stream across our borders, and in most cases have not been questioned or stopped,” Trump said in a statement. "Many of those who streamed across the border are criminals from prisons that have been emptied in other countries, and most of them are very dangerous people," he said. And he added, "Our country is dying from within, and no one is doing anything to help it. The first thing that must be done quickly is to complete the wall."
