The Bomb Cyclone Storm of Jan. 4 left damage in its wet wake all along the local coast. You are invited to help others understand just where and how the North End experienced this storm. Our ability to educate ourselves more thoroughly about storm effects strengthens our sense of climate change readiness in the future.
Information about damage and destruction comes most thoroughly from the observations and experiences of residents. Do you know of damage/outages/service interruptions? Vehicles damaged or totaled? Structural issues? As the area begins to thaw, further damage evidence is likely to emerge. Know that this data gathering is ongoing. Thanks for taking the time to share what you know.
