Warnings for Eastern Franklin, Massachusetts : Weather Underground

Some reports received include... 5 to 6 feet of water at Exit 24 on Route 5 in Northampton with at least 2 cars floating down the Road.

Also there's some flooding reported on the rivers in the hills to the west of us, and trees down on power lines here and there. Here, well, we have a little puddle in the driveway, much smaller than we get from a typical snowmelt, and a few leaves blown off a tree. We've had a little rustle-making breeze from time to time, but I haven't heard a window rattle all day. The center of the storm, no longer a hurricane, is more or less right where we are, so although the rain seems to be mostly pushing on ahead of it we will still have at least the potential of tropical-weight winds for quite some time. 

This was apparently a serious storm along the coast and it's been doing some substantial mischief up in the hills but here in our pleasant valley it really hasn't been much more, so far, than just a very big rain.
