What the National Weather Service wrote
In Sandwich at 7:22 AM EST there was a tree down on Old Country Rd.
The wider storm
A low pressure system over the southern Plains strengthened significantly as it reached the eastern Great Lakes. This placed New England on the warm side of the storm with strong SE winds and rain instead of snow. This lead to widespread river flooding and coastal flooding on both the south and east coasts of southern New England. The heaviest rain fell over eastern CT, RI, and eastern MA with totals of 1 to 3 inches which added to already saturated ground from previous storms. A storm surge of 2 to 3 feet occurred on the east coast of MA even with offshore winds. Coastal flooding was minor to moderate on both coasts. This led to the 4th highest crest on record for Boston Harbor.
