NORON – The remnants of Hurricane Ida blew into Massachusetts yesterday and early this morning, causing the most damage on coastal communities and Cape Cod.

The National Weather Service out of Boston/Norton is reporting rainfall totals of 2 to 7 inches in the Commonwealth.

MetrioWest did not suffer as much as other areas of the Massachusetts. In fact, the remnants of Hurricane Fred in August was worse than Ida.

Editor’s Note: The National Weather Services uses media, trained observers, members of its Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow network, and the public to measure rainfall totals. Some measurements are more accurate than others.
