Debby does damage away from Boston
Greater Boston dodged Debby.
The National Weather Service said late Friday the Boston area will see some rain that will taper off by tomorrow and that’s it. The same cannot be said for Western Massachusetts and especially New York.
There was a report of a tree down in Orange that injured three people, one seriously.
Heavy rains started pummeling northern Vermont late Friday afternoon, with a flood watch in effect through Saturday morning.
Winds were expected to pick up, and a tornado watch was in effect for some central and southern Vermont areas until 10 p.m.
More than 5,700 customers were without power Friday evening.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a statewide state of emergency Friday and said officials have deployed water rescue teams as Debby’s remnants have caused flooding in multiple parts of the state.
“With the remnants of Debby making its way across New York, I am declaring a statewide State of Emergency, and my administration stands ready to support impacted communities,” Hochul said in a statement.
She also cautioned New Yorkers to “remain vigilant and stay off the roads.”
