The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.
A strong coastal storm (i.e. a nor'easter) entrained with energy and moisture from the remnants of Wilma brought rainfall amounts between 2 and 2.5 inches and damaging winds to portions of Rhode Island. The high winds brought down limbs, trees, and wires, resulting in scattered power outages. In Providence, strong winds knocked a large tree down on interstate 95, partially blocking the northbound side of the interstate. In addition, several trees, wires, and limbs were reported down in Woonsocket, West Greenwich, Exeter, and Tiverton.No known injuries directly resulted from this nor'easter.
