The threat of another storm comes as the region still deals with the impact of days of wild weather that produced torrential rain, flooding, sinkholes and a likely tornado.
Hurricane Lee looks poised to wallop New England later this week even as the region still deals with the impact of days of wild weather that produced torrential rain, flooding, sinkholes and a likely tornado.
The looming arrival of the hurricane threatened to unleash more violent storms on a region that earlier in the week saw 10 inches of rainfall over six hours and on Wednesday saw communities in Massachusetts and Rhode Island deal with tornado warnings and more heavy rain that opened up sinkholes and brought devastating flooding to several areas.
"I am hanging on, hoping and watching the forecast and looking for hot spots where it may rain and where there are breaks," he said. "We have to make sure the pumps are working." The rain created several sinkholes in Leominster, Massachusetts, including one at a dealership where several cars were swallowed up. In Providence, Rhode Island, downpours flooded a parking lot and parts of a shopping mall. Firefighters used inflatable boats to rescue more than two dozen people stranded in cars.
"The ground is saturated. It can't take in anymore," Leominster Mayor Dean Mazzarella said at a news conference Wednesday.
