| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Severe thunderstorms moved through Rhode Island at night, in advance of a cold front pushing through southern New England.Thunderstorm winds brought down trees and large limbs in Scituate, Johnston, Cranston, Warwick, Barrington, Middletown, North Kingstown, and Portsmouth. Damage was more widespread in greater Providence, where nearly two dozen large trees were downed around Roger Williams Park and about one hundred others were either split or splintered by strong winds. In Cranston, a large maple tree fell onto a car and another large tree destroyed a garage.An amateur radio operator in Johnston also reported golf ball sized hail as the storms moved through. Lightning from the storms caused considerable damage in the city of Providence. Lightning struck the State House, causing some marble tiles to fall from the roof. A major fire was ignited on a tanker at the port of Providence on Narragansett Bay, when it was struck by lightning. No one was injured in either case.An estimated 37,000 customers lost power during the storms. |
