No Major Storm-Related Incidents In Dover And Sherborn, Police Say

While people out in central Massachusetts were being pounded by deadly tornados, Dover and Sherborn remained relatively unscathed last night.

There were power outages in both towns due to the heavy lightning during last night's storm, but all the power has been restored.

"We got very lucky it seemed to go north and south of us," said Sherborn Police officer Stephen Laquidara. "One tree got hit [by lightning] and I think a pole got hit that knocked the power out."

In Dover, lightning struck a tree that took down power lines on Pine Street, according to Dover Police officer Nicole Bratcher.

"There was a power outage but that was resolved earlier this morning," said Bratcher. "It was only a short period of time that the power was out."

Five members of the Dover Fire Department were called out to stage in Wrentham as part of the Norfolk County Disaster Task Force Wednesday night, where they met with others from around the area. Dover sent out five firefighters and one engine to help assist in the relief effort in Brimfield, Mass. The crew from Dover returned Thursday afternoon, according to Dover Fire deputy chief David Tiberi. 

It is unclear at this time how many people lost power.
