Tufts Campus power outtage.

So parts of the Tufts Campus doesn't have power due to "Manhole fires in Medford. Uncertain time for restoration of power - minimum 8-10 hours. "

"Classes may not be held in unpowered buildings. Supervisors may dismiss staff if no power"

But my question is, does anyone know how far out this goes? Will my house in Powderhouse Square likely have power? I live just over the border in Medford.

So, anyone know?

I can confirm that Pearson Rd has power. That's pretty close to Tufts at the Somerville/Medford border.

But I think Somerville and Medford are on separate power grids from different utility companies (NStar vs National Grid)
