| episode_narrative | A "southeaster" brought strong east to southeast winds to coastal eastern Massachusetts with wind gusts to 40 to 55 mph. Tree limbs and a few trees were reported blown down, especially over Cape Cod and the Islands and across south coastal towns in Plymouth and Bristol County. In New Bedford, a tree fell on a house and car. In Dartmouth, a staging was toppled at the University of Massachusetts. At least five boats washed ashore and countless others lost rudders at Mattapoisett Harbor. The town wharf was under about six inches of water at high tide. The harbormaster rated this storm as one of the top five bad storms during recent years. Minor coastal flooding was reported at many points along south facing coastlines of southeastern Massachusetts, with tides one to two feet above normal. The strong winds in the Boston area reached sustained speeds of 30 mph at Deer Island in Boston Harbor. A peak gust to 51 mph was recorded from the east-southeast at the Blue Hill Observatory in Milton at 11:08 AM. Heavy rain accompanied the winds. Very heavy rain fell on Martha's Vineyard where the storm total was 3.8 inches. This was the same storm system that hit Atlantic City, NJ with a deluge of around 14 inches of rainfall. |
