Amos, I hope you are right about your family being on the phone contacting others. They are not very close to the coast, but they are closer than I am. (I used to drive through Wood River Junction taking my son to and from Boy Scout Camp Yawgoog.) If they did lose power, it might be a while before it could be restored because it has a small population, no nearby hospital, and not many businesses so it might not be designated as a priority area. At the peak, 116,000 homes/businesses in RI were without power. This has already been reduced by more than half, but we've been told that some people may not get power until Friday.

Mystic Seaport reopened today from 1-4 PM and with free admission and the advice that some things would be closed, including food service, until power was restored to all buildings, as Maeve indicated. It will be open from 10-4 (normal hours at this time of year) starting tomorrow, Nov. 1. They posted photos of the aftermath on Facebook. I don't know if you have to be a FB member to see them. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151234958149288.488736.27795854287&type=1
