A powerful storm brought high winds to Martha’s Vineyard Thursday, downing trees, knocking out power and forcing a day of canceled ferries.

Ferries were running again Saturday morning after a prolonged gale battered Martha’s Vineyard for three straight days. Ferry service to the Island was suspended all day Thursday and Friday.

After a month of storms, Islanders are reflecting on how they fared and looking ahead to how they can be better prepared for when the next one comes.

Small pockets of the Island remained without Thursday after a March blizzard lashed the Vineyard with high winds and heavy, wet snow.

The Vineyard was a scene of flooded roads and docks, eroded shorelines, beached sailboats and downed trees on Saturday.

A ferocious northeast storm lashed the Vineyard with heavy rains and hurricane-force winds Friday, flooding roads, battering coastlines and cancelling ferries for the day.
