Top Google Searches in Boston During the Storm

Plenty of Bostonians took to Google Thursday to endure the first major snowstorm of the year, a storm that caused massive flooding damage and left thousands without power in the region.

Google compiled a list of the top five searches related to the storm and the top five "how to" searches that popped up in the past day in states along the coast.

Jennifer Lopez is not playing by the rules. Jenny From the Block headed back to New York City in honor of her next film, the highly anticipated strip club drama, "Hustlers." The first trailer has arrived--and the star is running her own game in it. In one of the first clips, the 49-year-old impressively twirls on the stripper pole. Her prowess as an exotic dancer comes as no surprise considering her rigorous workout routines and coveted physique. The film also stars Constance Wu, Cardi B, Keke Palmer, Lili Reinhart, Julia Stiles and Lizzo. It's plot-line centers on a group of strippers that are up to no good. "The game is rigged and it does not reward people who play by the rules," Lopez's character, Ramona, declares.

Considering Boston got more than a foot of snow and waters flooded the Seaport District, it’s no surprise the top question in Boston throughout the day was "Where is the snowstorm right now?"

Other top searches included "What to do if power goes out in winter storm?" and "What do you need to have before a snowstorm?"
