A powerful, slow-moving nor’easter continues to batter the Massachusetts coast including the South Shore with gusty winds, bands of heavy rain, minor coastal flooding, power outages, and beach erosion.
Power outages were reported in Cohasset, Marshfield, Hanover, Duxbury, Quincy, Rockland, Norwell, East Bridgewater, Halifax, Pembroke, Plymouth, Kingston, and Brockton.
At one point, Massachusetts Emergency Management reported over 15,000 customers in Massachusetts without power.
As of 10 a.m. Sunday morning, there are about 13,000 without power.
A coastal flood warning is in effect through 8 p.m. Sunday in several counties including communities in eastern Plymouth and Norfolk counties. The next high tides are Sunday just after noon and around 1 a.m. Monday.
Tides are astronomically high and the continuous strong northeast wind is expected to build tide levels that will likely cause flooding at high tide.
Pounding waves reportedly are causing serious erosion and threatening a seawall and home in Humarock while a neighboring home’s roof was damaged by the high winds.
Winds gusts have been reported up to 60 mph. A 58-mph gust was reported in Plymouth while Hull reported a 60-mph gust.
Waves crashed over seawalls in some communities, but no major flooding has been reported.
The high winds toppled a utility pole on Milton Street in Quincy. The pole fell onto a parked car.
Several communities reported trees and limbs down.
Two to four inches of rain is expected by the time the storm winds down late Monday.
The MBTA cancelled the Hingham-Hull ferry service for Saturday and Sunday due to rough seas.
T officials said that the storm could cause disruptions for bus, subway, and commuter train service.
