Flood — Norfolk, Massachusetts
March 14, 2010 · NOAA Storm Events record
Event narrative (NOAA)
The Charles River at Dover and the Neponset River at Norwood both went into flood. The Neponset River rose to major flood stage, inundating the Norwood Memorial Airport with three and a half feet of water. This resulted in the power being shut off to the airport and the closure of the airport for several days. The combination of the water and the lack of power kept the Automated Surface Observing System at Norwood (KOWD) out of service for nearly five weeks.||Many roads flooded in Wellesley, Holbrook, Milton, Walpole, Norfolk, Foxborough, Quincy, Braintree, and Dover, including Furnace Brook Parkway in Quincy and two lanes of Interstate 93 at Furnace Brook Parkway. Baseball fields at O'Rourke Playground in Quincy were flooded and two nearby schools were also closed due to flooding. Se
