Low pressure intensified rapidly as it tracked from the mid Atlantic states into New England. This storm system brought damaging east to southeast winds to much of eastern Massachusetts, where wind gusts were measured as high as 66 mph on Cape Cod.
Trained spotters and amateur radio operators reported widespread damage from the Merrimack Valley into the metropolitan Boston area, as well as southeast Massachusetts including Cape Cod and the islands. There were many reports of downed or uprooted trees, some of which fell onto houses or vehicles. According to media reports, an estimated 11,000 customers were left without power. In Swampscott, the combination of wind and rough seas ripped five sailboats and two powerboats from their moorings, causing them to either smash into rocks or run aground on the beach.
Significant coastal flooding was reported along the south coast of Massachusetts, where moderate coastal flooding was reported in New Bedford on French Street.
In addition, rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches resulted in widespread urban flooding from greater Boston to the South Shore. Several roads were closed due to flooding from Boston and Cambridge to Wellesley, Taunton, and Brockton.
