| episode_narrative | An unusual June nor'easter brought strong winds, heavy rain, and a brief period of flooding to Massachusetts. Northeast winds averaging 25 to 35 mph, with gusts as high as 50 mph, downed tree limbs and power lines in a number of communities in central and northeast Massachusetts, though damage was also reported in Southwick, in Hampden County. About 10,000 electric customers lost power throughout the state, of which 2,500 were in Greater Boston.Rainfall totals of 3 to 5 inches were common throughout much of the state, but were more concentrated along the east slopes of the Berkshires, in the Worcester hills, and inside the I-495 belt. Some of the higher amounts reported include 4.95 inches in Southwick, 4.70 inches in Conway, 4.63 inches in Belmont, 4.05 inches in Beverly, 3.44 inches in Milton, and 3.42 inches in Bristol. At Logan International Airport in Boston, the 4.00 inches of rain which fell on June 6 broke the previous record rainfall for the date, which was 2.98 inches set in 1986. Poor drainage flooding closed a section of Morrissey Boulevard in Dorchester, while the northbound side of the Southeast Expressway at East Milton was impassable for a brief time. In Worcester, the high temperature for the day only reached 51 degrees, which broke the previous record for coolest high temperature of 52 degrees set in 1993. The heavy rain caused the Westfield River at Westfield to briefly go into a minor flood. The river crested at 13.05 feet at 830 am EDT, which was just over its flood stage of 13 feet. No damage was reported. |
