As a result of the strong nor’easter, Lincoln police handled numerous reports of power failures, downed wires and branches, and road closures in Lincoln on October 16–17 starting at 11:36 p.m. Locations included Concord Rd., 94 Conant Rd., Lincoln Road, South Great Road, Peirce Hill Road, Farrar Road, Tower Road, Old County Road, Trapelo Road, Winter Street, Bedford Road, 48 Mill St., 18 Baker Bridge Rd., and Hillside Road. Due to power disruptions, commercial alarms also went off at the Lincoln School, the Lincoln Public Library, the Pierce House, and Drumlin Farm.
A few of the log entries didn’t get recorded in the Police Department’s until the following day because of an internet outage. “Our records management system is cloud-based, so we had to go to the old pen and paper for a bit and then enter in the items after the fact,” said Lt. Sean Kennedy.
