Winter Storm Riley causes deaths, flooding, and massive power outages

Winter Storm Riley hit with full force Friday killing five, flooding coastal areas, and causing massive power outages. Hardest hit is Massachusetts where coastal flooding forced the Governor to issue evacuation orders and call out the National Guard on Friday. The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency reports that "Significant power outages continue, and some areas could be without power for an extended period of time given the high winds." Forecasters expect the storm to move through the area Saturday with winds subsiding during the afternoon and evening hours. However, mid-day high tides may bring additional flooding. Power is currently out for 1.1 million customers in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, and Maryland.

ContactRelief is monitoring area. On Friday we issued recommendations to our subscribers to suspend contact with customers under evacuation orders and where significant power outages exist. We expect to maintain these recommendations today, and recommend contact resumption when power is restored for areas without flood damage.
