The Charles River at Dover and the Neponset River at Norwood both went into flood.

The combination of the water and the lack of power kept the Automated Surface Observing System at Norwood (KOWD) out of service for nearly five weeks.||Many roads flooded in Wellesley, Holbrook, Milton, Walpole, Norfolk, Foxborough, Quincy, Braintree, and Dover, including Furnace Brook Parkway in Quincy and two lanes of Interstate 93 at Furnace Brook Parkway. Baseball fields at O'Rourke Playground in Quincy were flooded and two nearby schools were also closed due to flooding. Several homes were flooded in Braintree. Several cars were stuck in floodwaters on Plymouth Street in Holbrook. ||Roughly 100 tenants of an apartment building along Furnace Brook Parkway were evacuated. In West Quincy, two dozen people were evacuated from their homes after floodwaters reached the first floor. At least 40 people were evacuated from their homes in Braintree.||MBTA commuter rail service between Braintree and Holbrook/Randolph was temporarily suspended after a portion of the rail bed was washed out.||A water treatment plant in Quincy that normally handles 360 million gallons of flow became overburdened with 1.3 billion gallons of flow, resulting in the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority to empty about 15 million gallons of untreated waste into Quincy Bay.

Power Outage FAQs
What is Power Outage?
Power outage (also called a power cut, a power blackout, power failure or a blackout) is a short-term or a long-term loss of the electric power to a particular area.
What Causes Power Outages?
- Severe weather (high winds, lightning, winter storms, heat waves, rain or flooding can cause damage to power lines or equipment);
- Other damage to electric transmission lines (vehicle accidents, trees, and animals can cause damage to power lines or equipment);
- Repairing, maintenance or upgrades on power lines and equipment.
What are the Top Outage Safety Tips?
- Stay away from the downed power lines, park vehicles in protected areas;
- Unplug appliances and electronics, limit cell phone use to conserve battery life;
- Use portable generators outdoors only, well away from open windows and doors;
- Pack perishable foods into a cooler, keep refrigerator and freezer doors shut as much as possible.
