Wow...what a wild, wild week we had for weather last week. Rain, 60+ mph winds, power lines down, trees falling on cars driving down I-91...what the HECK?
Jackie Clark of WWLP (www.wwlp.com) writes: HOLYOKE, Mass. (WWLP) - Western Massachusetts experienced another weekend packed with violent storms.
The hardest hit area was in Holyoke, where residents on Reservation Road are still picking up after a row of telephone poles came crashing to the ground.
"My neighbor called and said don't come home. The whole ground is electrified. He said all the power lines were down and don't come around," said Tim Lefebvre.
Around 5 o'clock Sunday night, a tree fell on power lines causing a domino effect, pulling down wires and a number of telephone poles. Crews are worked around the clock to restore power. In the meantime, residents said they have learned to roll with the punches.
"I'm just using my generator that runs on gas for now to run the refrigerators. Hopefully the power will be up tonight , " said Larry LaGountain.
Residents were told to expect power by late Monday night.
