NECN is doing a stellar job of tracking two or three "historic" tornado storms.
From the damage I have seen, it is very likely they will increase as more is discovered. National Grid has just updated their restoration times.
The hardest hit county, Hampden, has restoration scheduled for several communities at Tues, June 2 at 11PM, approx. 30 hours. That is for the least impacted communities. They still don’t know what the damage is in some of the harder hit communities.
I’ve talked to most .. thank God, no damage or injuried.
When did you live there ?
1987-1991. 122 Chestnut St.
Any word about activity in Natick? I have colleagues there.
Yes .. very nice area .. I remember it. Was the Kimball Hotel there when you lived there? Used to meet friends at their then classy bar before it became Kimball Towers. Springfield sure went to rot from the years of vote-buying liberal politicans and their slacker handouts .. shame. So many wonderful and historic areas there. Just like the whole dang state.. blighted, entitlement culture.
I believe so. And before that it was the YMCA.
Natick is fine. I have an aunt and uncle there. I grew up seven miles from there in Needham.
I know .. tornadoes are so unusual for Mass.
Corrupt as hell. When I was there, an ugly she-male liberal named Mary Boyle was mayor. Local talk show host Dan York on 1270 AM WSPR once asked her in an on-air interview if she ever shaved her back. That was the last time WSPR got an interview.
Even 20+ years ago, it was painfully apparent that Springfield was in the toilet; I heard as much Spanish as English once I left my building.
I had been transferred by my company to work in Amherst. Having already graduated from college and not wanting to live in a college town again, I commuted from Springfield. It was still worth it. Amherst was a funny farm. It was worth a 50 mile round trip commute to get out of there at 5:00 PM.
Groovy. thanks!
Four dead now reported in Springfield.
Wow .. sad. I see the Nat’l Guard’s been called in. Good.
They’ll definitely be needed .. especially in the South End.
Absolutely. My then-fiance was sunburned to a crisp after the Westover airshow in 1990. The only all night drug store in town was a CVS at the "X." South Harlem would have made me feel better that night at 2:00 AM.
Jeeesh .. they’re embedded like herpes.
You had quite a commute. Whattashame .. look at the
quaint, physical beauty of Amherst and Northhampton .. and the gaggles of lib academia, elites and gays makes it hell.
I really didn’t mind the drive. I hated the kooks in Amherst. They would paste our company’s building with their flyers and they literally spit on us as we cleaned up our own property. I got to be good friends with the Amherst Police. They were excellent and always on our side. I also had a lot of friends at the few conservative establishments in town, like Barselotti’s Bar and Amherst News.
Early on, I dated a girl from Smith. Now, THAT was an experience.
ROFL!! I can only fathom .. in my most Buffy, Sissy, Biffy, preppy state of mind .. LOL.
One night I spent there I encountered four or five totally nude women coming out of the showers who didn't bat an eyelid at me.
I was 25, in the Twilight Zone. What a time.
