Flooding

The flooding that shut down an important highway tunnel in Boston Wednesday night was a dramatic but rare occurrence, Massachusetts’ top highway official said in an update on what happened.

The gusting winds and record rain caused damage across the state, including in Uxbridge, Mass.

Stormy weather on Wednesday knocked out power to many and caused heavy flooding.

Private contractors had removed half a bridge before a woman drove off it into a creek and died during Tuesday’s flooding in St. Louis County, Missouri, officials said.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez says the government is sending 5,000 more soldiers and 5,000 more police to the eastern region of Valencia after deadly floods this week that killed more than 200 people.

With Hurricane Helene causing damages and death in the Southeast, Boston is testing out removal flood barriers to help protect the city from future weather events.

The City of Boston on Friday tested out removable flood barriers in case of emergency — the same barriers that had just helped keep storm surge from swamping a hospital in Tampa amid the devastation of Hurricane Helene. Friday was Boston’s first Deployables Day, a training and demonstration event where, under sunny skies, buildings and city workers practiced putting up…

Dozens of Massachusetts volunteers are down south to help out with immediate support in the wake of Helene.

A year has passed since a major flooding emergency impacted Leominster, Massachusetts. On Sept. 11, 2023, it just kept raining. Paul Maguy was home, watching the water rise rapidly before he and his wife couldn’t wait any longer, evacuating with the rest of his neighborhood. “Within an hour, we were totally underwater here,” Maguy said. “It was a tough day,…

It has been one year since a storm caused extreme flash flooding in Worcester County, with Leominster being hit especially hard.

Debby, now a post-tropical storm, is expected to soak more of the U.S. this weekend. Flood insurance likely won’t cover things kept in your basement.

A truck equipped with high-tech equipment is crossing the United States to map real roads and show what it would look like if they were flooded. We caught up with them in Boston as they mapped TD Garden, Faneuil Hall and more.

A tropical storm system triggered hundreds of flight delays and cancellations.

After severe flooding last year and some back and forth with the federal government, some FEMA aid will be awarded to Leominster residents trying to clean up the damage.

FEMA originally denied the state’s request for aid for Worcester and Bristol counties after the catastrophic flooding last September, but Gov. Maura Healey appealed and it was approved by President Biden earlier this month.

It wasn’t that long ago that a September storm ripped through Bristol and Worcester counties, leaving behind nothing but turmoil in parts of Massachusetts. Now, there’s help for people who were impacted. For people like the homeowners here on Pleasant Street in Leominster – whose property was damaged so severely from that September rainstorm that they haven’t been able...
