Great Deluge Hits Greater Boston With Record Rainfall
A historic storm drenched Greater Boston from dawn Thursday to last night with 5.31 inches of rain, the heaviest in 20 years and among the top totals in weather history. Streets caved in and cellars flooded across the city, with Milk Streetworst for cave-ins. East Boston saw a lightning-struck bank pole, and a Medford roof revealed drowned birds after a cat’s fetch. The forecast set Saturday unsettled showers and generally fair Sunday, as the city awaited recovery from the deluge that surpassed prior 24 hour records.
