WUMB Off?

[~Bill]

The Hill where UMB is, [right above my house in Quincy] still has no power
as of 05:20 am [Tue]

I'm surprised there is no Generator at the site

Well, I wouldn't  be surprised. I was told all the Brockton stations 
were knocked off the air and one is still not back on yet.  I assume you 
can call WUMB tomorrow and ask what is going on.  There weren't a lot of 
power outages in Quincy (although our cable was down for over a day) but 
a couple of neighborhoods did suffer falling tree branches and downed 
power lines.  I am told the building that houses the Quincy 
Patriot-Ledger was affected by the storm, so maybe WUMB was too.
