Two to four inches of rain fell in a very brief period of time resulting in flash flooding in Colrain, Greenfield, and Gill.
In Colrain, Greenfield Road near the town common was flooded and eventually closed. A section of North Green River Road was washed away, making the road impassable. The saturated ground allowed two trees to fall on wires on South Green River Road. Another tree was downed because of erosion of the intersection of South Green River and Nelson Roads. A large rock was also blocking the roadway.
In Greenfield, a portion of High, Chapman, North, and Elm Streets, Riverside Drive, and Forbes Court were flooded and impassable. Arch Street was flooded under the bridge with a car stuck in the waters. Route 2A near the Stop and Shop was flooded with up to 4 feet of water. Sanderstown Street was closed near High Street due to flooding. A car was stuck in the floodwaters. Robbins Road was flooded with only one lane passable near Route 2.
