1. Nobody I know is affected.
Edited on Thu Aug-14-03 04:11 PM by jmm
I live in Salem and have spoken to a couple of people in Boston. Everyone I've spoken to still has their electricity. NECN did say that air traffic is being affected at Logan because of flights going to and coming from places with outages.

edited because I can't spell.

2. Southern NH here, and we are powered up
Not sure if the rolling blackouts will hit here. PSNH has been pretty good.
