Winds Take Down Tree On Luce Road

Staff reports - December 23, 2007

WILLIAMSTOWN - High winds downed a tree at the intersection of Luce Road and Sunset Drive at about 8 p.m. on Sunday night.

A neighbor reported a sound "like a freight train" and rushed outside to see a tree snapped off and lying about 18 feet away, across Luce Road. Police arrived on the scene as did a town worker with a chain saw to clear the road.

A storm that barreled through Williamstown in late August downed trees and utility lines and took days to clean up.

But as of late last night, police reported only the tree on Luce Road and the branch of another being blown down.

However, a high-wind warning was in effect until about 6 a.m. this morning. A cold front moving through the region also prompted a flood warning for Berkshire County and eastern New York.


The front was expected to move through the Northeast fairly quickly, but the warming temperatures that came along with it could cause flooding in low-lying areas because of rain and snow melt.

Snow showers light winds and mild temperatures are forecast into Christmas Day.
