| episode_narrative | Tropical Storm Floyd brought high winds and torrential rainfall to Rhode Island, as it tracked from northern Connecticut into central and northeast Massachusetts. Although many areas received strong winds, the highest wind gusts were confined to coastal Washington County, where several trees were downed in Westerly, and also in northern Providence County, where branches, trees, and wires were downed in Smithfield, Woonsocket, and Cumberland. Widespread rainfall amounts of 2 to 5 inches were reported throughout the Ocean State, with the heaviest amounts falling across the higher terrain of northwest Providence County. As much as 7.12 inches of rain fell in North Smithfield. The torrential rainfall caused the Pawtuxet River to rise out of its banks in Warwick and Cranston. The Pawtuxet went into flood at 1132 pm on the 16th, and crested at 9.4 feet at 515 am on the 17th, just over its 9 foot flood stage. It returned to its banks at 245 pm on the 17th. No flood damage was reported, including throughout the rest of Rhode Island where flooding of low lying areas was common. |
