A late season coastal storm brought heavy rainfall to much of eastern Massachusetts, resulting in widespread flooding of roads and small streams. Rainfall totals averaged 3 to 5 inches from the southern suburbs of Boston to the south coast, Cape Cod and the Islands, but as much as 7 inches of rain fell in Bristol County and on Cape Cod.Flooding initially began in Bristol County, where as much as a foot of water covered Route 140 in Taunton and closed County Street. Flooding also affected several major roadways in New Bedford including Route 18 and Interstate 195. The Canoe River in Mansfield came out of its banks and produced minor flooding. Buttonwood Pond in New Bedford flooded a nearby park. In Attleborough, flooding closed a portion of Route 1 from Old Post Road to Draper Avenue.On Cape Cod, a portion of Meredith Road in Sandwich was washed out. Snow Street in Hyannis and Holkum Road Road in Dennis were both flooded and impassable, as were Padduck and Underpass Roads in Brewster. In Barnstable, a portion of Race Lane was covered by 4 to 5 feet of water in the Centerville section. Significant flooding took place in Mashpee, where a child care center was flooded and forced the evacuations to take place.  Flooding also affected Nantucket, where Orange Street was closed.In Plymouth County, flooding in Wareham affected 40 mobile homes at a mobile home park. Mayflower Street and a portion of Taylor Avenue were flooded in Plymouth. Flooding was also reported in Bridgewater, where Wood, Water, and Cross Streets were closed. Several brooks were out of their banks in Hanson. Accord Brook in Hingham came out of its banks and flooded the yards of several homes.In Norfolk County, flooding closed Wrentham Road in Bellingham, as well as Norfolk Street in Walpole where a nearby creek came out of its banks.Minor flooding occurred along two larger rivers in greater Boston. The Neponset River at Norwood crested at 9.28 feet at 1030 am EDT on June 8, just over its 9 foot flood stage.
