Unconfirmed Report of Microburst in Framingham

There are several unconfirmed reports of a microburst in Framingham during Tuesday afternoon’s storm.

Reports all came from the area in Framingham near the intersection of Routes 9/126/30.

One report was near the MetroWest YMCA. Another near the Whole Foods Market on Route 9.

Editor’s Note: The attached photo was taken near the former Nissan dealership on Route 9 by Patch reader Robin O’Neill.

Flooding was reported on major roadways - beyond the one that always floods the intersection of Route 9 and Route 126. Despite that intersection frequently flooding, one driver had to be rescued by Framingham Police after trying to drive the vehicle through the waters.

Lots of reports of hail.

Massachusetts State Police on Route 9 tweeted pea-size hail, but Framingham Patch readers in Nobscot and Saxonville reported quarter-size and golf-ball size hail.
