How the forecast works: we analyze how quickly customers are being restored, whether the outage is still growing, current weather, outage size, and similar past outages in this area. Every completed forecast is compared with when power actually returned. As of Aug 29, 10,280 completed outages have been graded this way — median error 1.6 hours across the most recent 600 of them (about 2.6 days), and we publish the misses. See the full record (how it works). Independent and unofficial: never the utility's commitment.

Does this page show Franklin Town specifically, or the whole county?
Right now, the Norfolk County county-wide view, which covers Franklin Town. No utility outage map we follow has yet listed an outage for Franklin Town by name; utilities here have so far reported only county-wide totals, or used area names we cannot match to Franklin Town. If that changes during an outage, the city's own count and restoration time appear here automatically. Woonsocket (7 mi SW) is the closest place we track separately.
How accurate is the restoration estimate?
Every estimate is later graded against when the tracked outage was substantially restored (~90% of customers back), and the track record is published on our accuracy page. Estimates firm up a few hours into an outage once a steady restoration trend appears; very small outages are marked "too small to estimate" rather than guessed.
