Some 500 utility vehicles were out on Cape Cod on Wednesday morning to continue restoring power after a tornado touched down there the previous day.

The rare weather event knocked out electricity for more than 50,000 customers, some of whom spent the night in a shelter at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School.

WBUR's Callum Borchers reports what he was seeing from the shelter.

This segment aired on July 24, 2019.
