Major Electrical Storm Rocks Cambridge

20 08 2004

Heavy rain; large hail; severe downdrafts/winds of 60MPH+; intense electrical activity; large trees down; mild property and structure damage; Huron Village/Harvard Sq./Fresh Pond area. Trees down on several power lines, cars, homes.

This was a serious storm - and luckily it was very fast-moving. Power is out in the Fresh Pond/Huron Village area. Several major roads closed. Definitely one of the top few squalls I’ve ever found myself in the middle of.
