A massive storm lashed New England Wednesday night, leaving more than 225,000 households without power, shutting down schools, uprooting trees, and felling power lines in its path. It even blew a plane into a jet bridge at Logan International Airport, Boston 25 reported.
“It’s a mess this morning,” the Hamilton Police Department wrote on Facebook.
Social media documentarians took to Twitter to show the extent of the damage.

A Symphony Road man woke up to this after last night’s damaging storms.
He told me that he usually parks in a local garage, but last night decided to park in front of his apartment instead.#Boston25#StormDamage pic.twitter.com/g3FIjbcpst
