Red Cross closes Fall River storm shelter as power is fully restored to city and neighboring Wareham

An emergency shelter at Durfee High School in Fall River closed this morning after power was fully restored to this city of 89,000 and to neighboring Wareham, a Red Cross volunteer said.

“Our last guests just went home to Wareham,” Paula Farrales, the shelter manager, said by telephone, shortly after noon today. “They all got their power back on. It’s wonderful news.”
