Boston Suffers Extensive Damage And Flooding After Severe Storm Hits [PHOTOS]
BOSTON (Reuters) - Police and emergency crews around Boston scrambled to clean up after a violent storm, including a possible tornado, blew through the region on Monday, downing power lines, flooding roads and overturning cars, local officials said.
The National Weather Service said it had sent a team of meteorologists to the city of Revere, Massachusetts, outside Boston to investigate a possible tornado.
Revere police reported extensive damage to homes and trees but no injuries after the violent weather. Boston and cities to its northeast reported extensive street flooding from the storm, which dropped rain at the rate of 1.5 to 2 inches per hour, the National Weather Service said.
Photos of the flooding and aftermath from the storm are coming in on Twitter and Instagram. Here's a few:
