EMAIL THIS AFTERNOON:

Chief Carrico can provide a more detailed report when he is no longer actively responding to calls, however, I wanted to give you a brief update. 

We still have live power lines burning in the roadway on Maplewood. Chief Carrico has been in touch repeatedly with Eversource and MEMA to report our lack of response from Eversource today. Chief Carrico and Chief Guerette will coordinate details to remain with the live wires on Maplewood until Eversource arrives on the scene. 
Public Safety continues to receive calls about downed trees, downed wires, and electrical services torn from houses. Chief Carrico has reported that we are now receiving calls for assistance with flooding in basements. 
The Building Inspector has been working with residents who have experienced tree damage to their homes. We have at least 6 homes that were hit directly, and one family has had to be relocated due to the damage. 
I reported to you earlier the tree damage to the police vehicle and we also experienced a fire engine hitting a telephone pole on Green Street. No injuries to personnel.

Personally, I was blocked from using RTE 109 or 115 to get back from Millis late morning. Eventually got through on 109 and saw a 2-3′ diameter pine on the roadway.
