Major cities from Philadelphia to New York City to Boston found themselves flooded on Wednesday evening thanks to a series of thunderstorms that rolled through the Northeast.
In Natick, Massachusetts, a pregnant mother and her 3-year-old son were trapped in their car when the vehicle stalled.
“I saw a few other cars going, so I just thought ‘I’m next,’ but then it almost felt like a boat as I was floating,” the mother, identified as Michelle Lopes said. “I’m eight months pregnant, so I just thought I would sit and wait.”
Elsewhere in Natick, trains were halted by flooding on tracks.
The strongest winds were reported at Boston Logan International Airport, where a mircroburst with 74-mph gusts wrecked travel plans, and in Winthrop, Massachusetts, where a South Boston yacht club was rocked.
