Powerful storms swept through the region on Saturday, causing flooding and other damage across parts of Massachusetts and Connecticut.
Torrential downpours in Worcester Saturday evening left multiple streets flooded out.
“It was really bad,” said Bryan Erazo who watched as the water came up fast on Pelham Street right outside his home. “Almost to the first floor.”
As the flood waters receded, two residents took it upon themselves to start sweeping up the residue and clearing the drains.
