LEOMINSTER, Mass. — Hurricane Lee barreled north toward New England on Wednesday and threatened to unleash violent storms on the region just as communities in Massachusetts and Rhode Island dealt with tornado warnings and a second-straight day of heavy rain that opened up sinkholes and brought devastating flooding to several communities.
In North Attleborough, which was hit by heavy flooding Monday night, Sean Pope was watching the forecast with unease. He remembers his frantic efforts to survive the floods, including rushing to shut down the power, knocking on roommates’ and tenants’ doors and telling them to leave. While he built a “blockade” of cement bags, he said there wasn’t much he could do if more rain came.
She said the state is monitoring the conditions of dams in many communities and urged residents to take seriously any flood warnings and to stay off the roads when ordered. John DeCicco, a retired school teacher in Leominster who loaned generators to neighbors, said residents of the close-knit community about 40 miles northwest of Boston were helping each other clean up and opening their homes to others whose residences are uninhabitable.
