Trees fallen over city streets were a familiar sight in Methuen, Mass. Downed limbs and trees blocked streets, crushed cars and severed power lines as the region's first winter storm left hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses without power. (Photo by Tim Jean/The Eagle-Tribune)

Monster ice storm grips New England

CNHI News Service

Like many other New England cities and towns, Haverhill declared its own state of emergency. Mayor Jim Fiorentini was asking the City Council's permission to spend money on emergency chainsaws and overtime for public works crews.

Only a few parts of the city electricity. It was littered with downed lines and trees, including a large branch that fell across a deck on Acorn St. about 1:30 in the morning.

The deck was destroyed.

"It was so scary when it hit," said Larisa Yakushian. "We couldn't sleep after that."
