While many stayed indoors watching weather reports of Hurricane Irene, this woman, along with dozens of other onlookers, chose to brave the elements of the storm last weekend at Pleasure Bay in South Boston. The hurricane damaged homes, washed out roads, swept away bridges and caused widespread flooding throughout Massachusetts. (Lolita Parker Jr. photo) |
Hurricane Irene struck the Boston area on Sunday and caused trees to be uprooted, like this one in a Dorchester neighborhood. Downed trees caused power outages and as of Tuesday afternoon 218,000 people in Massachusetts were still without power. Officials said it may take days before all customers have their power restored.
