Boom! That was some storm. Scattered outages in other areas in the city as well. Multiple trees came down on Maybrook Street in Dorchester.

Robin reports this tree came down at an entrance to Mt. Benedict Cemetery in West Roxbury, effectively trapping two people in a car in the cemetery:

All we got in Somerville and Cambridge was a little drizzle.

5 minutes of heavy rain downtown, but little wind. The difference a few miles makes...
