« Gas prices bump back up | Today | Green traffic for Jan. at lowest level in 4 years » February 18, 2008Scattered power outages, North Kingstown to JohnstonAbout 2,900 people were out of power as of 11 this morning. That included about 750 from Cranston, 400 from Johnston, 800 in Pawtucket, 265 in North Kingstown, and 475 in Warwick. But those numbers are changing constantly. “Things are a little dynamic,” Jackie Berry of National Grid said. “Virtually all of these outages are weather related.” The National Weather Service is calling for winds gusting upwards of 40 mph throughout the day. Barry says trees and tree limbs are to blame for most of the power outages. What’s happening, she said, is an outage is called in, crews go out to fix it, “and as soon as they finish, another one is called in. The numbers are all over the place.” -- projo.com staff writer Brandie M. Jefferson Posted by Brandie Jefferson Commentsanon | February 18, 2008 3:59 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil.

We believe this report underestimates the number of persons without power during Monday morning. A substantial area of Saunderstown, Narragansett and Exeter were without power for in excess of 1.4 hours, starting at approximately 6:18 AM.
