| episode_narrative | Tropical Storm Floyd brought high winds and torrential rainfall to Massachusetts as it tracked from northern Connecticut into central and northeast Massachusetts during the late evening and early morning hours of the 16th and 17th. Although many areas received strong winds, the strongest winds were confined to the higher elevations of western Massachusetts, as well as Cape Cod and the islands. Gusts of 60 to 70 mph were common along the south coast, but the New Bedford Hurricane Barrier reported a gust to 76 mph. There were many reports of downed trees and power lines in these two areas. Damage was not as widespread throughout central and eastern Massachusetts, where winds generally gusted to 40 to 50 mph. Floyd also brought torrential rainfall to the Bay State. The heaviest rain fell over the Connecticut River Valley, to the left of the track of the center, where totals of 6 to 10 inches were common. Southwick reported 9.16 inches of rain, Whately had 7.70 inches,and Millers Falls had 6.20 inches. The heavy rain caused the Westfield River at Westfield to rise out of its banks for a brief period. It crested at 13.1 feet at 12:30 am on the 17th, which was just over its 13 foot flood stage. Many small streams rose out of their banks in western Massachusetts and flooded nearby low lying areas. No flood damage was reported. |
