| episode_narrative | A fast-moving line of severe thunderstorms brought large hail and damaging winds to parts of central and eastern Massachusetts. The damage began in Worcester County, where thunderstorms dropped dime sized hail on the border of Sterling and Princeton, before moving into southern Middlesex County where large branches were downed in Wayland.Additional storms developed to the south, and caused additional damage in Norfolk and Plymouth Counties. A wind gust to 71 mph was measured at the Blue Hill Observatory in Milton, and there were numerous reports of downed trees and wires in Milton and Quincy. Quarter sized hail fell in Randolph, as observed by a Skywarn spotter, which lasted for about three minutes. In Dedham, lightning struck a house and ignited a fire which damaged the roof. Lightning also struck a two-story building in Weymouth causing minor damage. As these storms progressed into Plymouth County, they downed trees and wires in Abington, Whitman, Hanson, Hanover, and Pembroke. Dime sized hail was reported by a Skywarn spotter in Rockland. In all, about 7,500 customers were left without power in Norfolk and Plymouth Counties after the storms moved through. |
