Many Local Homes Remain 'Dark' on a Sunny Day

Hundreds of homes remained without power on Monday afternoon as National Grid crews continued to work to restore power after Tropical Storm Irene hit on Sunday.

Under bright sunny skies on Monday afternoon, several hundred homes in Hamilton and Wenham were still “dark.”

National Grid crews were still working to restore electric service to about 600 homes in the two towns. About 100 homes had power restored since Monday morning.

As of 2 p.m., the largest outage remained along Highland Street from Asbury Street to Nancy’s Corner at Cutler Road in Hamilton.  Power in that area went out last night and no exact estimate was available about when it would be restored.
