There were many reports of downed trees, large branches, and power lines from the east slopes of the Berkshires into Worcester and Middlesex Counties. Damage was most widespread in Hampden and Hampshire Counties, where about 6,000 electric customers were left without power because of the storms. Lightning strikes caused damage in Worcester and Norfolk Counties. In Worcester, lightning hit a power substation and a bank of transformers, resulting in more than 3,000 customers losing power.
