Storm Paralyzes Town for Hours

A northeast spring storm caused hours of paralysis in Bristol with wind driven wet snow snapping power poles and breaking wires on the Providence Bristol County feeder. Peak gusts reached 71 mph as crews repaired the main line by noon, while warnings and lingering gray skies marked the aftermath.

Power Restored After Thursday Night Storm Repairs

Narragansett Electric Co and New England Tel Co crews finished final repairs from Thursday night's storm. William C. Remington said Bristol's outages are nearly cleared and crews focus on individual homes. Poppasquash Point returned to power by 10:30 last night after about 20 hours without electricity. Crews from Connecticut Light and Power assisted at Pappasquash Road near Mill Pond, with help from teams as far as upper New York State. Tiverton and Little Compton sustained the worst damage, while lines nearer the coast suffered greater deterioration.
