New Britain herald., 1927-10-13

the heavy wind and rain storm which swept Plainville last night. The high wind blew down tree limbs along Whiting and Broad streets and in other parts of the town. A chimney on the Central block was toppled on to 9. small annex at the rear of the Neri block, the bricks going through the roof and into the annex The driving rain leaked through at the tops of the windows in the new Sequassen Corporation building. This caused heaviest dam age in the window of Harold Birn- haum's Mems Wear Shop. where hats, ties and socks to the value Of s75 were ruined.
 The roads in low places were cov- cred with water and the marshes in the east end filled rapidly as the downpour continued. The ponds in that part of the town rose consid- erably and several new ones of ap- preciable size were formed in de- pressions, while the brooks were forced to carry an unusually heavy load. The new storm sewer in the east end functioned perfectly and drained it's territory in satisfactory manner, thus meeting it's first severe test. Leaves choked the Broad street sewer for a time but were cleaned out this morning.
