Sandy Cancels Governor's Visit to Florida TurbinesStaff Reports,
09:55AM / Friday, October 26, 2012 | |
Fourteen months after Irene deluged the region, another hurricane is headed our way. The sweetly named Sandy (now dubbed "Frankenstorm") is expected to arrive early next week just in time for Halloween.
We'll be meeting with North Adams officials this afternoon about emergency preparations and checking in with other towns. We'll do our best to keep everyone as up-to-date as possible on cancellations and closures around the county.
Sandy could dampen the opening of the Hoosac Wind Project, which has had its own stormy path to completion over the past decade.
