Strong Wind in Eastern Hillsborough, New Hampshire

A 42 year old man travelling on Interstate 93 in Manchester was killed when his car was struck by a 70 foot pine tree. Two passengers, the man's 36 year old wife and 2 year old daughter, were injured and were transported to the hospital. Saturated soil and strong winds combined, resulting in many downed trees across southern New Hampshire.

A stacked low pressure system (surface low and upper level low on top of each other) moved southeast of Nantucket, spreading rain across Southern New England. This resulted in widespread rainfall totals of three to six inches. In eastern Massachusetts, a strong southeasterly low level jet pumped ample moisture into the area, resulting in rainfall totals on the order of six to ten inches. This resulted in major flooding across eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, including small stream, urban, and poor drainage flooding. In addition, the Concord River at Lowell, the Shawsheen River at Wilimington, and the Pawtuxet River at Cranston reached record flood stages within two to four days of the rain.

Strong winds associated with the low pressure system and the low level jet affected both the east and south coasts, resulting in numerous downed trees and wires and some minor structural damage to a few buildings.
