Five Things You Need to Know Today: Aug. 29

Cleaning up after the storm? Here are a few things to know and do.

  1. Hope you survived the weather OK yesterday. You can see how it all went down from from yesterday - just hit "play" and you can see the whole thing as it happened.
  2. And we'd love to see your photos, even if you just snap them with a smartphone. You can add them to .
  3. Are you still without power? MEMA is reporting nearly half a million people in the state are without power, and that it could take the rest of the week to restore it. NStar has some more information up on their website about the power outages. Remember to use caution if you see downed wires; they could be live.
  4. At midday yesterday there was a lot of debris, like branches, leaves and tree limbs. Some roads were also flooded. Remember to be careful when you're out driving, because it will take time for all of that to clear up.
  5. And believe it or not, the weather today is supposed to be very nice: sunny with a high near 80.
