"CONCORD – Gov. John Lynch has declared a state emergency after high winds left more than one third of the state's residents and businesses without power.
In a conference call with reporters, Lynch said he also activated 50 members of the National Guard to assist communities respond to the damage.
State officials said about 330,000 residents and businesses are without power and people should expect to be without power for several days. The 330,000 power outages are second only to the December 2008 ice storm when 430,000 residents and businesses were without electricity.
Lynch and other state officials said 100 percent of many communities are without power and hundreds of state and local roads are closed due to downed trees or flooding."
Well mother nature just got real REAL on us huh? She's got to have some tits to drop a Haiti on us like this right? I mean it started off worse enough...Nearly midway through the 4th quarter of the Celtics/Cavs game, SHAZAM, off goes the TV! At that point the Cavs had stormed back(haha get it, pun) and made a game out of the whole affair. Less than ten minutes later, I'm sitting in my driveway, crushing beers in my car, listening to the game on the radio, when I hear the Celtics are trailing by 11. For fucks sake miss! Mother Nature really dyked out on this one. There's not better explanation for the Celtics getting outscored 35-14 in the 4th and falling by 20, than the result of thousands of people being pulled away from their black TV screens. It's obvious the storm sucked the life out of the crowd and shit it all over NH in the form of a hurricane. Looks like the only option I have now is to get blacked out in honor of the blackout. Cheers.
