Trick-Or-Treating In Tiverton-Little Compton: Residents Without Power Not Sure What To Do

Should those in dark neighborhoods postpone Halloween activities, or head to other, powered, areas? According to National Grid's outage map, about 600 homes are still without power.

There's scary, and there's SCARY. Trick-or-treating without light of any kind (street lights, house lights, etc.) may be a bit much. So those residents without power are wondering what to do?
