Isn't Somerville too progressive to have manhole covers? Would they not be personhole covers?

Aren't you too young to be posting on the internet? Doesn't your mommy know how to use the parental guidelines thing?

Just imaging being asleep on the third floor and being awakened by BOOM!!!, THUNK!. If it were me I'd think I was under attack.

"While investigating the cause of (Tuesday) morning’s outage and manhole incident in Somerville, our crews assessing underground equipment in the area of Cross Street and McGrath Highway located damage along an underground cable indicating a fault," the company said in a statement. "We are currently making necessary repairs to that cable, and we are also installing an energy-release manhole cover at the site."
