1.1 Million Without Power- Soleil Singh

Once again, after another hurricane (known as Hurricane Phillip) strikes, it leaves a devastating aftermath, and over 1.1 million without power.

The storm drenched the region over the weekend before racing into Canada early Monday. It left behind swollen rivers and downed trees that damaged roads, snarled traffic and left millions without power.By Monday evening, more than 1.1 million power customers were still without electricity, including 248,557 in Massachusetts and 137,900 in Rhode Island. In Maine, which was especially hard hit, and now the government is to give power companies more flexibility to make repairs. Central Main aid says more than half of its customer base was without power Monday. By nightfall, 384,000 were still without power. The utility said it was unable to restore power on Monday because of widespread damage and the danger of downed power lines.

I believe this is so upsetting that simple tropical storms can lead to such disasters  and although this is not as "deadly" as Maria, it still proves to be powerful enough to leave many citizens without power, which I forebode will provide issues.
