Thousands of people are still without power in
Several people in the Wrentham area reported seeing funnel-like clouds moving through their neighborhoods. Following the storm, there is a lot of cleanup to be done.
A massive tree was uprooted in the Wrentham Common from what the Deputy Fire Chief calls, a “microburst.”
“I was in my office at Keller Williams just down the street and I heard the pop and I had no idea what the pop was until we came out and saw this,” said Lisa Weener, who works in Wrentham.
Cleanup crews were quick to respond, sawing branches to start removing the downed tree.
“Where we were, you could see a lot of the lightening. Saw that massive cloud go right over our house,” said Jim Lorusso, who lives nearby.
The ominous clouds were seen across
While many must now deal with the aggravation of clean up, thousands are without power and living in the dark.
