From the Office of Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken (3PM): As many of you know, the power is out in certain areas of the City. According to National Grid, we still have 3,600 customers without power (21% of our community) but the Gloucester DPW, Police Department, and Fire Department continue to work with National Grid crews around the clock to provide support and restore power as quickly and safely as possible.
We continue to work on clearing downed trees and wires. Be aware of downed limbs and always assume that a downed wire is live: DO NOT touch any wires that have fallen.

Great response Donna…Every little bit helps…We had start ones this way mission required had to constantly test it. There was a switch that had to be engaged for auto start that during a PMI didn’t get put into right position and had a power outage caused us some major headaches to get back up but persistence paid off about 1 hour down of course the blame game started which was counter-productive I prefer always the fix-game and lessons learned! Last time I checked we are humans subject to error Great being human and if you never made a mistake how do you learn? Depending upon what type of mistakes some come at very high costs! Dave
