| episode_narrative | Severe thunderstorms brought damaging winds and large hail to central and eastern Massachusetts for the second day in a row. The hardest hit areas were once again in the suburbs of Boston, especially to the south, where there were many reports of downed trees and power lines. Hail as large as quarters covered the ground in spots. Brockton, in Plymouth County, was especially hard hit. Large hail the size of ping pong balls damaged cars, and torrential rainfall of two inches in one hour resulted in street flooding. A storm spotter reported two to three feet of water on Main and Belmont streets. Several house fires were started by lightning in Middlesex County. In Boston, water flooded the mezzanine level of South Station, closing the MBTA Red Line Station for about an hour. Service was also interrupted on the MBTA Green Line for about an hour, after a tree fell near Brookline Hills station. Logan International Airport recorded a wind gust to 58 mph in a thunderstorm, a day after measuring a wind gust to 74 mph. An estimated 25,000 customers in central and eastern Massachusetts were left without power. |
