Heat knocks out power in Grafton, Millbury; thunderstorm coming

Is it hot in here? You’re not alone.

Roughly 3,000 homes in Grafton and Millbury are without power, likely caused by the stress of everyone trying to stay cool during the extended heatwave.

National Grid reports power may be restored by 7:30 p.m.

The National Weather Service, meanwhile, says a strong thunderstorm will hit southwestern Worcester county around 7:15 p.m., with winds in excess of 40 mph and “pea-sized hail.”

Stay cool and hang on.
