570,000 without power in New England as nor'easter batters East Coast

About 570,000 homes and businesses in New England were without power early Wednesday as a powerful nor'easter continued to batter the East Coast.

About 480,076 of the outages were in Massachusetts, the state’s Emergency Management Agency said just before 1 p.m.

And more than 93,000 customers in Connecticut and Rhode Island were without power, according to PowerOutage.US, as the National Weather Service in Boston warned of a "dangerous situation" near and southeast of I-95, the East Coast's main highway.

“Winds gusting over hurricane force across southeast Massachusetts. Numerous downed trees,” the service warned on Twitter. “TRAVEL IS NOT RECOMMENDED early this morning in southeast MA.”
