Sky25 flew over the South Shore Monday. The damage is widespread and the challenge for utility crews have been massive trees that are down and took wires down with them.

Also, crews are having to fix snapped utility poles.

Extra help was called in from around the country and Canada just as the next storm gets ready to impact our weather Wednesday.

“Crews are challenged with the trees that are down, power lines that are down and broken poles,” Michael McCallan, of National Grid, said.

Luckily the winds is not expected to be as strong as we experienced last week.
