Strong Winds Cause Damage in Massachusetts

Strong winds in Massachusetts resulted in significant structural damage, including the collapse of a building in Weymouth and four stories of scaffolding in Quincy. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as workers managed to escape safely. Local witnesses described the noise of the Quincy collapse as thunderous, occurring a day after a 3.8-magnitude earthquake in New England. High winds also disrupted power, downed trees, and closed streets in the Boston area. The building in Quincy had been under construction for a year, with scaffolding recently installed. Emergency services responded promptly, closing roads and ensuring safety, while further inspections and clean-up continue.
