1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: It's nice eyes with Dan Ray. I'm going you Boston's

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: news radio, all.

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 2: Right, So let me lay out our plan for the

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: balance of the night. First hour was a little discombobulated,

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: and I apologize for that. We lost one guest, well

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: we never they never got in contact with us. But

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: I want to thank my guests, particularly Tim Healy of

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 2: the Boston Globe. He moved I moved him up, or

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: Rob moved him up from eight forty five to a fifteen,

10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: and also Jared Bronson of w BZ Radio. You know, Rob,

11
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: we have some some sound from some of our reporters today.

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: If if I call for that, just be aware of that.

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: If you've seen it, it's cuts thirty one to thirty four,

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: an you have those in front of great. Thanks. It's

15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: been kind of a crazy week, to be honest with you,

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: and maybe it's you know, maybe it's going to slow

17
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 2: down here. But here's what the plan is for tonight, folks.

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: Would we will start off and let's talk for an

19
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: hour about the storm cleanup and what it's like in

20
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: your community, both in terms of travel and also in

21
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: terms of power for those of you who don't have power.

22
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 2: I have no idea how you could be listening to us.

23
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: But if you are and you want to call in,

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 2: I can give you some idea about what the MEMA

25
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: map tells us in terms of the number of people

26
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: at this point, where just at about one hundred and

27
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 2: one thousand power outages across Massachusetts, and it's really focused

28
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 2: in very much, in very large part to the south shore,

29
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: right along the coast down into a fall river, New Bedford.

30
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: In those areas Bristol County, Plymouth County, and of course

31
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: Barnstable County and the Cape. Basically the Cape and the islands,

32
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: the Islands or Dukes County and Barnstable County is the Cape,

33
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: Plymouth County, Bristol County. I think you know what I'm

34
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: talking about. Then at ten o'clock we're going to talk

35
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: with doctor Guy WinCE. She's a clinical psychologist as well,

36
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: and we're going to talk about you ever get to

37
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: the point where you feel like your life has been hijacked,

38
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 2: and in some cases has been hijacked by things you

39
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: have no control over. He's going to help us figure

40
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: out how you can get your life back under control.

41
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: I think he was a good guest. A couple of

42
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: weeks ago, during the eight o'clock hour, and I think

43
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: that if you have questions about your own situation, he'll

44
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: be a good He'll be someone good to talk to,

45
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: to be honest with you. And then the last hour

46
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: of tonight, at eleven, we're going to go back to

47
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: the President's State of the Union address last night. It

48
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: was such a wide variety of responses that people had.

49
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 2: I was checking the New York Times today and elsewhere,

50
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 2: different locations, and it's just it's really amazing the wide

51
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: variety of viewpoints. Obviously, the people who loved the president,

52
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 2: they thought he did a great job last night. I'm

53
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: somebody who is much closer towards the middle on this,

54
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: but I thought he did do a great job last night.

55
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: And yet there are the folks on the other end

56
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: who just can't abide by anything that he says. And

57
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 2: he was talking about apple do you like apple pie?

58
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: Stand up? I don't think the Democrats would have stood

59
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: up for that anymore than they would have stood up

60
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: for his question about whether or not the primary responsibility

61
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: of government should be the protection of American citizens over

62
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: people who are here illegally. But we'll get to all

63
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: of that at eleven o'clock. So let me play Rob

64
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: just for a second or so here just to kind

65
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: of get this going. Let's let me go to cut

66
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: number thirty one, which is ever Source outage update. This

67
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: is filed earlier by report to Jared Brosnan about them

68
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: trying to get the power back on, and they have

69
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: some sound from Doug Foley, who was our guest on

70
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: Monday night. I think it was Monday. It's been a

71
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: crazy week. Let's play cup thirty one, please Rob.

72
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 3: Eversource has roughly two thousand crews working across southeastern mass.

73
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 4: Many of the crews haven't gone home. They're working eighteen

74
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 4: hours shifts, betting down for six hours and they're back

75
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: at it.

76
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: That's Doug Foley, ever Sources, President of Electric Operations in Massachusetts,

77
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 3: who says the goal is for all power to be

78
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 3: restored by Friday night.

79
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 4: We're working today to establish town wide etis. We're going

80
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 4: to have that completed today.

81
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: Another top priority is restoring power at the schools.

82
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 4: We're identifying where those schools are and we're giving that

83
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 4: information to the community so they can make the decisions

84
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 4: about opening up the schools tomorrow if they choose to

85
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 4: do so. So that's one of our key points.

86
00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: He says.

87
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 3: Additional crews from me Hampshire and Rhode Island are now

88
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 3: also on the job here in the Bay State from

89
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: Plymouth and Jared Brosnan WBZ Boston Snows Radio.

90
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: Okay, that was Jared in Plymouth earlier today. These are

91
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: earlier reports that WBZ reporters filed. Cut Number thirty two

92
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: is WZ reporter Jim McKay. He was in Falmouth talking

93
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 2: about the outages down there and when businesses will begin

94
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: to reopen.

95
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 5: Here in the neighborhood of Falmouth that is known as

96
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 5: Tea Ticket, there is one stopping shop in the shopping

97
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 5: plaza that does have their lights on. People grateful to

98
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 5: not only stalk up but also warm up.

99
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 2: Thank God that we had a couple of ex and

100
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: blankets to keep warm.

101
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 5: Mikey lives in an apartment complex without power, saying it

102
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 5: could still be a few days.

103
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 6: Looks like the power is back on in this part

104
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 6: of Falmouth isolated area.

105
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 5: In the backdrop, there are scores of ever source trucks

106
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 5: getting a break and a bite to eid, waiting for

107
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 5: their next destination. For Bruce, he's out to refill his

108
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 5: gas tank.

109
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: It's been a rough couple of days.

110
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm fortunate. I've got a whole hot.

111
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 5: The blizzard of twenty twenty six may be over for

112
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 5: Greater Boston, but for this part of Cape Cod, this

113
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 5: storm is leaving quite a lasting impact in Falmouth. Jim

114
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 5: McKay WBZ Boston's News radio just to.

115
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: Put in perspective, and I think during storms like this

116
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: sometimes every one of us, including me, lose a little

117
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: point of reference as to where we are. This is

118
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 2: Wednesday night. We're at nine twelve, nine thirteen, forty eight

119
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: hours ago. The storm was pretty much wrapping up, but

120
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 2: it had it had dominated. I mean it had come

121
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: in overnight Sunday, late Sunday night into Monday morning and

122
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: blew all day Monday. So, on the one hand, when

123
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: you don't have power, forty eight hours is an interminable

124
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 2: amount of time. On the other hand, when you do

125
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 2: have power, you can think back and say, well, you know,

126
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: I haven't had a big inconvenience. Let me go to

127
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: go to next cut, Rob Cut, thirty five. This is

128
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 2: WBC News ready to report a Chris Farmer. He was

129
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 2: talking to residence in Plymouth and Marshfield.

130
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 8: The storm may be over, but he is unfortunately still out.

131
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, I still have no power in Plymouth. I haven't

132
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 9: had power since Monday morning.

133
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 10: At six forty five, Satan goes for this Marshfield resident

134
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 10: who hasn't had juice in Sundays?

135
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 8: How do you fall asleep at night when you know.

136
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: You have to look four blankets?

137
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 10: More than seven thousand customers in Marshfield without power like

138
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 10: him due to Monday's blizzard, another three thousand in Duxbury

139
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 10: and more than fifteen thousand in Plymouth.

140
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 11: Pretty terrible.

141
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 8: How difficult does it like to get up in the

142
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 8: morning without an alarm clock?

143
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 9: No, we chardge our phones on the carse at night,

144
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 9: so we're all right. We got a lambs, but there's

145
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 9: no power in the house. No sounds kind of different,

146
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 9: but I'm making.

147
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 8: Do Chris Foman WBZ, Boston's News radio.

148
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: That's the way we may get some calls from folks

149
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: down in that neck of the woods on the south

150
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: shore of the Cape. If you've powered up and you

151
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: want to call us, I can tell you where you

152
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 2: are in terms of power outages. As of nine o'clock again,

153
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: they're at about one hundred one hundred nine and forty three,

154
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: so just a little short of one hundred and one thousand. Again, families, residents,

155
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it. They use the phrase customers,

156
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,119
Speaker 2: but I think an individual customer is the bill payer

157
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: who lives in an apartment or condor home. And then

158
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: the last report here from w b Z reporter James Rojas.

159
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 2: He was back in Boston. There is still some communities

160
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: in Boston. I'm looking at Boston right now. There's only

161
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: I believe, one single customer, So Boston is in much

162
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: better shape. In Boston, they reopened school schools today. I

163
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: have a little question about that, whether you want kids out,

164
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: you know, leave the roads clear, let the snow plowing

165
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: be done. But this is Chris Foma's excuse me, this

166
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: is James Rojas's report, cut number thirty four, Please Rob.

167
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 6: Many students here at the Mildred Avenue School had a

168
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 6: big smile on their face walking back to class, but

169
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 6: not as big as their parents.

170
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: No, I'm glad the kids are back in school. They

171
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 2: need their education. So it's a.

172
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 7: Little more cassing.

173
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 11: I mean, I can go get some piece of quiet,

174
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 11: I guess, yeah.

175
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 6: BPS Superintendent Mary Skipper and may Or Michelle Wu greeted

176
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 6: students with open arms.

177
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: They're excited to be back.

178
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 12: Parents are very excited that the students are back in school.

179
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 13: It's exciting for multiple reasons. The school's back open, so

180
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 13: my kids are going to later start school, but I'm

181
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 13: going to get home and get them out the door.

182
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 13: And it's taken a ton of work, as you heard.

183
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 6: Skipper and Wu thankes school leaders, DPW and other city

184
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 6: workers for getting schools reopened in Mattapan. James Rojas w

185
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 6: b Z Boston, some news radio.

186
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: All right, let me just give a quick rundown here.

187
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 2: Then we're going to take a quick break. I'm gonna

188
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: go to phone calls. It looks according to the MIMA

189
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: outage map, that power has been restored in fall River,

190
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: but there are power outages on the south coast Westport, Dartmouth,

191
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: New Bedford, a cushion at Fairhaven and Matta Poison. There

192
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: are a higher percentage of customers out in Rochester and Wareham,

193
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 2: Plimpton and Marshfield. And then it really kind of kicks

194
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: up when you get to places like Plymouth, and let

195
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,119
Speaker 2: me see if I give you some numbers here Plymouth,

196
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: just I lost my screen. This is not easy. Oh God,

197
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 2: I wish I had. Where are we going here? Let

198
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 2: me get to see if I can get to Plymouth.

199
00:10:52,320 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: Now Whareham still has twenty per powers out? Born percent Plymouth?

200
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 2: I got Plymouth still thirty five percent in Plymouth and

201
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: again further out in the Cape. The further out of

202
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 2: the Cape you go, frankly, the worse it is. And

203
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 2: that's that's going to be the next hotspot that all

204
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: of the providers, the energy providers, whether it's again ever Source,

205
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: National Grid or whomever. I can tell you that in

206
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 2: Harwich twenty six percent are out at this point in

207
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: Let me get another couple here for you. If I

208
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: could Dennis again out in the Cape and the far

209
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 2: into the Cape, Provincetown it's still one hundred percent out

210
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: without power. The next town out Twurro fifty four percent,

211
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 2: well Fleet forty eight percent, east Ham eighty one percent.

212
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 2: Those are the four towns that I believe are hit

213
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 2: the worst. Chatham is fifty eight percent. What else we

214
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 2: have here? Brewster? Do I get Brewster?

215
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 7: Here?

216
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 2: Where's Brewster? There's Brewster sixty four percent. Again, the further

217
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: out on the Cape you get, the higher percentage of

218
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 2: homes and customers without power. So if you live on

219
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: the Cape, if you live in the South Shore, you're

220
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: still fighting the problem. At the same time, there are

221
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: some problems up in Essex County. There again coastal communities

222
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: that have been problematic. We'll take a break. I have

223
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 2: one line at six one seven, two five, four ten

224
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: thirty and two lines at six one seven, nine three

225
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: one ten thirty. If you want to know what the

226
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 2: power situation is in your community, feel free to join

227
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: the conversation. And if you'd like to talk about the

228
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: response US, which many people are going to be critical of.

229
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: But I must tell you I would not want to

230
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: be out as a as a crew tonight, either a

231
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: cleanup crew or as a power restoration crew. It's it's

232
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: it's tough work. Six one seven the only line right now,

233
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 2: six one seven, nine thirty. Coming right back on Nightside.

234
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: Night Side with Dan Ray. I'MBS Boston's news Radio.

235
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: So we're trying to be for this hour basically a

236
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: clearing house of information for you. And if you're interested,

237
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: say look at the MIMA map. There's I mean, the

238
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: areas that are problematical right now are are Plymouth and

239
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: onto the cape. It's really almost as simple as that.

240
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 2: Let's go to the phone. It's gonna go to Maureen

241
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: in Brockton. Maureen, how how are you doing in brockden tonight?

242
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 14: Hey? Dan, hope you Well. We were very lucky because

243
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 14: we did not lose power. But I mentioned to Marita

244
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 14: this afternoon that we just had drifting snow. They wouldn't

245
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 14: have been any way for me to get out of

246
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 14: my driveway even if I had attended to. But we

247
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 14: were very fortunate not to lose any power. I'm a

248
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 14: work from home employee, and a couple of times the

249
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,359
Speaker 14: lights did flicker, and I just thought.

250
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: A thrill.

251
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 14: Well, we you know, we uh, we have oil heat,

252
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 14: so if we lost the power, then we'd lose the heat,

253
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 14: we lose the power, and we'd really be in a

254
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 14: tough you know, in a tough mass. But I just

255
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 14: I feel bad for a lot of the people, for

256
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 14: the city of Brockton, because I know there's a lot

257
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 14: of cities and streets that a lot of streets that

258
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 14: have not been you know, plowed and clid. But you

259
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 14: only have so much in power, So is that.

260
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: Also because is that also because of the density I

261
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 2: know Brock then pretty well, it's a densely populated city

262
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: and I assume there are a lot of cars on

263
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: residential streets and it might have been pretty tough once

264
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: that snow started to pile up for those plows to

265
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 2: get down the streets.

266
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 14: And they did last Saturday, than Maya did go on

267
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 14: like Facebook live and he did. They had a parking

268
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 14: band which started. I don't understand why, but it was

269
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 14: two am Sunday morning. So if you weren't, if you

270
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 14: didn't move your car off the street, and we're lucky

271
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 14: because we have a driveway, but if you didn't, then

272
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 14: they were going to be you know, towing, And there

273
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 14: were a number of areas throughout the city to park.

274
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 14: But it's a lot of I think it is. I

275
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 14: think it's you know, the the amount that came down.

276
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 14: But then they sat on the news that it was

277
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 14: zero visibility. It was white out, So even if you

278
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 14: have plow drivers, I mean, I mean you had to cut.

279
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 2: Down a side street and wipe out two or three cars. Yeah,

280
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 2: that's that's not a What do they want to do?

281
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: Have you park in parking lots like at shopping centers

282
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: and all of that, Then The problem is when the

283
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: snow came and you have two feet of snow, how

284
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: do you dig your car road?

285
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 14: Exactly. I'm like I said, We're very fortunate and you know,

286
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 14: we just have the one car ourselves. But uh, it

287
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 14: was so much snow, and like I said, I just

288
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 14: I feel for everybody. And they did decide to cancel school,

289
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 14: you know, for tomorrow Friday, because even if they did

290
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 14: plow the side out of the streets, I mean, how

291
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 14: are those kids, you know, you know, they're walking down

292
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 14: the sidewalks or put the intersections. And I mean I

293
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 14: canceled an appointment tomorrow afternoon because I don't know how

294
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 14: you know how great it is to drive between me

295
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 14: and the Holbrook, you know, for an appointment I just had.

296
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 14: You know, I had surgery two months ago, so I'm

297
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 14: recovering from surgery and I just don't want to take

298
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 14: a chance.

299
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 2: I think that you're smart, and I also think the

300
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 2: city was smart to cancel school. I mean, look, the

301
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: kids were on vacation. I assume that it's an extended

302
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: Christmas vacation. It happens once every ten years. I don't

303
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 2: think that probably was much education. Boston Open Schools today.

304
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 2: I think there's always pressure. They got to get the

305
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: schools open so they can get one hundred and eighty days.

306
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 2: I would rather see the kids go to a couple

307
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 2: of schools on Saturdays in April and May than send

308
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: them in. Probably the attendance would be low. I don't know.

309
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 2: It's I wish I was born a school superintendent. I'd

310
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 2: be pretty quick. Canceled, cancel, canceled, don't worry about it,

311
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: and we'll apply for a waiver from the state because

312
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 2: there's not a lot of education. You go.

313
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 14: My heart breaks. We have a friend who lives in

314
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 14: Ashfield and he said that they don't expect to get

315
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 14: powers so and I don't know where in Marshfield, but

316
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 14: they're looking at perhaps Friday. But again, my heart goes

317
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 14: out to everyone who's affected. We were so fortunate. Like

318
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 14: I said, I'm just very grateful and thankful. And you know,

319
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 14: I mean, it's it's snow, it's winter, it's but you

320
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 14: Jesus have to you know, I know that that baseball

321
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 14: is you know, baseball is coming, and the spring is coming.

322
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 14: So that's what I'm looking forward to.

323
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 2: It's always in the fourth that you'rely but it's going

324
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: to be a while till it gets here in Marshfield.

325
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 2: By the way, now seventy nine percent of the customers

326
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,959
Speaker 2: have been restored, so twenty one percent still are without

327
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 2: power as of this very moment in Marshfield. As always, Maureene,

328

00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: saying head to Jack for me right. You actually get

335
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: to be friends with people who call the program on

336
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 2: a regular basis, met them at at events that we've

337
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 2: held for nightside listeners, and you develop friendships. As strange

338
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 2: as may it might seem to some of you, it's

339
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 2: nine thirty. We have one line at six one seven, two,

340
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 2: five four to ten thirty, and we have a couple

341
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 2: of lines at six one seven nine three one ten thirty.

342
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,719
Speaker 2: That is the underutilized line six one seven nine three

343
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 2: one ten thirty. How is your situation? How long we

344
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 2: without power? Has power been restored? If you if power

345
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 2: has not been restored in your community, and you do

346
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: have access to a cell phone that's been charging in

347
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 2: your car and you want to call in. I can

348
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: probably help you out a little bit, uh and give

349
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: you the information.

350
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 14: Uh.

351
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 2: Again, there are places on the Cape, including Provincetown, which

352
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 2: still have no power. This is again, this just speaks

353
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 2: to this type of storm, the wind riven, particularly out

354
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 2: on the the the arm of the Cape that's been

00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 2: maybe that's that's my friend Tom Higgins. But now I

00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 2: get a second free name. Tom.

375
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 7: Now you got a second one.

376
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 2: Oh are you doing on power down in Plymouth?

377
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 7: Okay? Power went out at five fifty am on Monday.

378
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 7: We it was supposed to come back eight o'clock last night.

379
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 7: That they said four o'clock this afternoon, and now they're

380
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 7: say at eleven o'clock tonight.

381
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 2: Well, right now there are.

382
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 7: Eleven thousand keeps getting kicked down the road that happens.

383
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 2: There are eleven four hundred and fifty three customers. This

384
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: is as of nine to twenty five pm, so we're

385
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 2: talking about twelve minutes ago eleven four hundred and fifty

386
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: three customers or thirty three percent at the customers without power.

387
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 2: So Plymouth is one of the other than the the

388
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: the homes that are out on the on the the

389
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 2: arm of the Cape. You know, the town's like you

390
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: know Provincetown and uh and and Truro and uh east

391
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 2: Ham and Wellfleet. You're you're as you have as high group,

392
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 2: elite group. Yeah yeah, you So what are you doing?

393
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 2: How are you surviving? What are you doing.

394
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 7: You know, I've got a gas fireplace at a gas stovetop,

395
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 7: so just the fireplace lights up, but we have to

396
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 7: light the the gas top stovetop manually. But I got

397
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 7: to keep to two big pots of hot water going

398
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 7: so that acts of the second heat source beats the

399
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 7: whole house. Yeah, so I'm lucky on the heat side.

400
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: So so you just keep basically in effect of boiling the.

401
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 7: Water, yeah, simmering the water at two big large pots.

402
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 2: And that actually helps, it significantly helps. What's the temperature

403
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 2: in the house accounting its seventy two or seven sixty

404
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 2: eight right now.

405
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 7: It's bad during the day when it's like yesterday got

406
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 7: up over seventy.

407
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 2: Well, sure you got the sun working on it as well.

408
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, the sun was helping for sure.

409
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 2: That's pretty resourceful, Tom. I'm impressed. I had never thought

410
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 2: of that. Actually, these huge pots because obviously, oh yeah, they're.

411
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 7: Like cord you know, for corn and chowder and all that,

412
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 7: big spots.

413
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 2: But as though simmer, obviously the water evaporates, so you

414
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 2: got to keep throwing water in there as well.

415
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, we keep filling them up occasionally, but it takes

416
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 7: a while. I guess you could yeah, I mean the

417
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 7: Steve he's what two and twelve degrees?

418
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, But I assume what you can do if

419
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,239
Speaker 2: you had to, if you've lost power to uh to

420
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 2: get water running, because sometimes that's going to impact you

421
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: could just go outside and get get some snow and

422
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 2: put him in the pot. Right.

423
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 7: Yeah. Actually, we've been lucky. The town water Plymouth works. Okay,

424
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 7: We've had no problem with the rest rooms and the water.

425
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 2: It's all been Okay. Is this the worst situation? How

426
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 2: long you lived in Plymouth.

427
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 7: Since nineteen ninety nine?

428
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 2: Okay? And is this the worst power outage in terms

429
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 2: of length of time that you had to deal with?

430
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the second. First, it's between first and second.

431
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 7: There was another one, probably twenty twelve.

432
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Yeah, we hit that big winter. Remember that.

433
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: There was the horrible winter of twenty fourteen to twenty fifteen.

434
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, So I didn't know that because my wife

435
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 7: had just moved to Plymouth that year from North Carolina

436
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 7: and we got like ted feet at the end of January.

437
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 2: Well, it didn't snow all winter. December, no snow, no

438
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: snow for the first couple of weeks in January. Then

439
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: we had one storm after another all the way through February,

440
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 2: which is kind of similar to what's going on right now,

441
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 2: not as intense. I watched on one of the TV

442
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 2: forecasts last night that said, I think that we have

443
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 2: already accumulated in Boston. Whether they used Logan Airport six,

444
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 2: I think they said sixty inches of snow. Now that year,

445
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 2: I think we actually got up to around about one

446
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 2: hundred and ten inches of snow. I'm just doing this

447
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 2: for memory. So we're not quite where we were, and

448
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 2: we need a couple of big storms to even get

449
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 2: close to it. But this is pretty reminiscent of twelve

450
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 2: years of eleven years ago, now that you think about it.

451
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, she wants to go back to North Carolina.

452
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 2: I can understand that, But then North Carolina had I

453
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 2: don't know what part of North Carolina she's fair. Yeah,

454
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: the storm, the storms and the people who were isolated,

455
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 2: and the hurricanes that went through there, and the lack

456
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 2: of response a FEMA down there. So yeah, each every

457
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 2: part of the country has has their own their own problem.

458
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 2: Tom great to make it now. I have two friends

459
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: named Tom Higgins. Have you called me a good dyke?

460
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, we keep the we have an AM radio for stars.

461
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 7: So that's how we're staying.

462
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 2: Have you ever called before? And no, is this your

463
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 2: first time calling?

464
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,840

484
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 15: Well, I'll give you a report from ground zero, but

485
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 15: I'm going to do it remotely. When we saw what

486
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 15: that storm was going to do, yeah, and my neighborhood

487
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 15: loses power, we bailed, So I'm staying off Cape. Plus

488
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 15: my wife and I had a bunch of appointments up

489
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 15: in the Boston area. As a matter of fact, today

490
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 15: I had an appointment this afternoon at the Brigham, my

491
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 15: women's hospital at the Long COVID Recovery Center. Yep, Yeah,

492
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 15: the Julie's gonna be calling you tomorrow. She's got big

493
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 15: plans for March. She's been really busy. The streets are

494
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 15: so narrow there that those big buses that do the

495
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 15: shuttling between the Mass General and Brigham could hardly make

496
00:27:54,560 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 15: the corners. It was crazy. But so eighty percent of

497
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 15: the Cape lost power on Sunday night and Monday. Okay,

498
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 15: And so this afternoon I decided to call one of

499
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 15: my neighbors across the street. He has a generator, gass generator.

500
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 15: And as I'm talking to him this afternoon on three o'clock,

501
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 15: he goes, Larry, you won't believe this. The power just

502
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 15: came back on. And so my neighborhood. Though, here's the problem.

503
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 15: They opened up some warming centers at d y As,

504
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 15: you know, the high school, Yeah, and then at the

505
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 15: Harwich the vouetech over you know in the Pleasant Lake there.

506
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 15: But my neighborhood. The two major streets to get out

507
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 15: of Dennisport. I'm over by the Pelham House in the

508
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 15: C Street Beach. Lower County Road and Upper County Road

509
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 15: both were so devastated with trees falling onto telephone poles

510
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 15: that you couldn't even get out of the neighborhood. So

511
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 15: we were so lucky that we bailed. I called my

512
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 15: neighbor across the street and he said, Barry, my house

513
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 15: is so cold. I had to sleep in my car

514
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 15: last night.

515
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 2: It was cold. Cruise. You can get cold, Larry. I'll

516
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: tell you right now in Dennis and I know you're

517
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 2: in Dennis Port, but in Dennis, the greater Dennis area,

518
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 2: you still have forty eight hundred and seventeen customers without power,

519
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,959
Speaker 2: twenty two percent of the customers in Dennis. Now, for

520
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: the first time, the number of Massachusetts power outages below

521
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand as of nine thirty one, ninety seven thousand,

522
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 2: seven hundred and seventy five.

523
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 15: I'll tell you what the big problem was, Dan. What

524
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 15: you're calling the arm of the Cape, we call it

525
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 15: the outer Cape. From Like Orleans, East Ham Weughley did

526
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 15: the National Sea Show the Winds or over seventy miles

527
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 15: an hour coming from the north northeast. Perfect, so the

528
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 15: wind was coming right off the ocean, like right over

529
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 15: Marco Beach and whatever. And I can't imagine the amount

530
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 15: of tree damage. Now, you know, I'm a big mountain

531
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 15: biker and I love the trails. Once there's snow melts

532
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,959
Speaker 15: in the spring, I can't imagine the damage to all

533
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 15: the trails.

534
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 2: Oh, I'll tell you now is the time to invest

535
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: in a in some sort of a wood clearing business

536
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 2: down there. There's all all all of the The Landscapers.

537
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 15: Club is very active the club. You know, I belong

538
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 15: to the New England Mountain Bike Association and we all

539
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 15: carry an saws when we mountain bike. But a couple

540
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,479
Speaker 15: of the guys have chained saws and what we do

541
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 15: is we report if there's a big tree down and

542
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 15: they do a lot of work clearic. But this one's

543
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 15: going to be devastating.

544
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 2: So it's gonna it's gonna be a long spring for sure,

545
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of work for landscapers on

546
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: the cape.

547
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 7: Absolutely, when are.

548
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 2: You heading back to? When you're heading back to.

549
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 15: I'm not sure. We still we still have a bunch

550
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 15: of appointments up here the Long COVID Recovery Center. It's

551
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,959
Speaker 15: very hot to get I made a bunch of appointments,

552
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 15: so luckily my family lived up here.

553
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 2: And so yeah, one of my callers last night, who

554
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,520

Speaker 7: So I knew you was that.

558
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 2: I forget that. I can't remember because I was busy.

559
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 15: I couldn't listen to the whole show last night.

560
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, back and reconstruct it I four hours, because.

561
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 15: I'll listen to it on the podcast. You don't remember

562
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 15: which hour it was? Oh, I wonder who that was?

563
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 15: It knew that I bailed like that.

564
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't last night. It would have been Monday night,

565
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 2: because last night it was all the state of the

566
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 2: Union stuff.

567
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 15: So right, right, that's right, got Monday night? It wasn't.

568
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: I don't. I have no idea. I'll try to look

569
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 2: it up for you. Give you a call tom on.

570
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 2: I'll try to nail it down. But it might have

571
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 2: been so one might have sent me a text. Someone

572
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 2: might have sent me a text message or an email

573
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 2: as well.

574
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 15: So that call possibly, yeah, but keep an eye out

575
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 15: on those two numbers for Julie to give you a call.

576
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll be happy.

577
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 15: To Okay, thanks, I appreciate, thank you.

578
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 2: Well, be well, all right, I got some open lines here.

579
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 2: We're going to stop this conversation. Power outages. They're now

580
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 2: down to ninety six thousand, and I know it's it's

581
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 2: just like it's crawling. But the people who in the

582
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 2: last few minutes have gotten power back, they're celebrating. Uh.

583
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 2: If you want to sneak in right now, six one seven, two, five,

584
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 2: four ten thirty or six one seven, nine three one

585
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: ten thirty. We have another Cape caller coming up, and

586
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: I got some room for you. If you'd like, let

587
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: me know where you're calling from. I'll tell you what

588
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 2: your community is doing. At this point, it looks like

589
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 2: I'm looking at Nantucket here, which is right obviously in

590
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 2: the middle of the water. They're folks without power is

591
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 2: down to fifteen percent. But then let me see in Well,

592
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,719
Speaker 2: it's tough if the map keeps moving on me here. Uh,

593
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: in Martha's Vineyard, which is based upon every different town

594
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 2: Edgar Town is what was that? Let me see here

595
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 2: edgar Town is down to five percent, so they're in

596
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 2: pretty good shape. West Tisbury nine percent. It looks to

597
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 2: me like the Cape rather. Martha's Vineyard is in much

598
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 2: better shape. Even power has been restored out in Aquinnis,

599
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: so Duke's County is in better shape than that I

600
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 2: would have expected. Again, it is what would call the

601
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 2: the outer Cape, East Ham Truro, Provincetown. Those are the

602
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 2: communities that still right now are are dealing with real,

603
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 2: real problems. You can also throw into the mix there

604
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 2: Wealthleet as well. Back on nights side after this.

605
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 11: It's nice side with Boston's news radio.

606
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,479
Speaker 2: Okay, back to the phone to go. Gonna go to

607
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 2: Terry in Harwich on the Cape. Terry, I hope your

608
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 2: power is restored.

609
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 16: I just cut it back this afternoon, Dan, but the

610
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 16: thing is death. I started out Saturday morning at five thirty,

611
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,479
Speaker 16: waking up with shaking children of fever one O two.

612
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 16: I had to go to urgent care. I have COVID

613
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 16: and I was stuck. I still have stuck. I'm under isolation,

614
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 16: still inside a freezing, freezing environment with COVID. But I

615
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 16: have to take a quick shout out, Dan to Griff

616
00:34:53,600 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 16: at Mark and Phyllis and Donna and Julie and Sandy

617
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 16: that kept bringing me hot food, dormities full of hot

Speaker 2: that support system. They should have catched you somewhere with.

623
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 16: You know, the only place I could have gone was

624
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 16: the hospital because I was on isolation.

629
00:35:55,600 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 16: had so much people that brave with the lengths to

630
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 16: get to me. The Mark shoveled my driveway to make

631
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 16: sure people could get in and out safely, and they

632
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 16: put down ice yelts.

633
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,319

634
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:15,720

637
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:27,719

00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 2: Well, you you deserve it, Terry, that's for sure. Terry,

639

Speaker 2: someone from Plymouth. But I'm so glad that you have

641
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 2: please recover. Did you tried that? Did they give you

642
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 2: that plaque COVID which is help.

643
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 16: We talked about it, but the doctor felt that because

644
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 16: the other issues, I shouldn't okay.

645
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 2: Fair enough. I just want you to be aware of

646
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 2: it because when I contracted COVID a couple of years ago.

647
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 2: If you get to it early and you take plaques

648
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 2: slov and, it's very very effective, and it will cut

649
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 2: down and won't take it away, but it'll cut down

650
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 2: the symptoms. Terry, I got to run. Give me a

651
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: call next week and let me know how you doing.

655
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 2: you're gonna wrap the hour for us. Plymouth is still

656
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 2: a real hotspot in the dark. Well, will you? One

657
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 2: out of three people in Plymouth are in the dark,

658
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 2: eleven four hundred and fifty eight customers. And my understanding

659
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 2: is that you know Plymouth, you're in better shape than

660
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 2: they are in the Outer Cape. But just barely. To

661
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 2: be honest with you, I mean, you've got a lot

662
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 2: of people who have to have their power restored. When

663
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 2: did you lose it? And it hasn't come back at all?

664
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 2: I assume correct.

665
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 12: No, I have absolutely no power. It went out at

666
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,920

670
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got it twenty minutes or so before before

671
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,200
