DURHAM—Power outages caused by high winds and heavy rains made a difficult morning commute for UNH students and employees.
The power outages, which occurred at the intersection of Madbury Road and Route 4 in downtown Durham, eliminated the use of traffic lights and the Durham police force had to stand in and direct traffic.
In addition to Durham, power outages have been reported in several other New Hampshire towns, including Conway, Eaton, Madison, and New London.
Although UNH students experienced flickering lights earlier this morning, the university has not yet initiated any curtailed operations. Students hope that holiday travel will not be impeded by the extreme weather.
According to weather forecasts, 38 mph winds and heavy rains are expected to taper off by tonight. However, New Hampshire and Maine residents may be able to expect a snowy Thanksgiving weekend.
