Around 8:45 a.m., Jack Stack tweeted:

VERY loud pop and then all the power went out in Savin Hill Boston

North Waltham is also out.

Stephen Walsh reports a pole came down across Hammond Pond Parkway, blocking three lanes.

Dudpocalypse. At least here

Dudpocalypse. At least here in the Boston area, if you hadn't heard the hype, you'd be thinking 'Gee, it's windy out.'

No plage, no thanks

I've been biking by Carson Beach fairly regularly recently. As the French might say, personne à Carson. Many days, even hot, sunny ones, there's zero, one or two people at that beach. Typically a mom might be with a couple of little ones on the miniature playset, or the Harvard shuttle bus driver might be chilling. It's a quiet place.
