These storms produced damaging winds, and lightning as they moved across the region. There was also a report of nickel sized hail from these storms in Springfield, Massachusetts.Severe wind gusts brought down trees and power lines onto houses and roads, leaving thousands of electric customers without power for hours. In Northampton, downed power lines closed portions of both Bridge and Ryan roads for several hours. In North Montague, severe wind gusts knocked 5 trees and wires down on Main Street. Lightning strikes sparked a garage fire in Templeton; hit a 50 foot oak tree in Haverhill, which subsequently crashed onto the roof of a building and hit a car; and it also struck the basement of a ranch style house in Deerfield, causing structural damage to the house. |
