When my street had a minor leak last Xmas eve-National Grid was out in full force till morning fixing something that could have probably waited. A contractor working for the gas company over pressurized a low pressure gas line, resulting in gas discharges from the meter as the meter's regulator tried to cope with pressures that the meter isn't supposed to see. Many older gas services installed before the 1960s have meters located inside the house, and when the over pressurization caused these meters to vent, the gas vented inside the house, resulting in fires and explosions. Those with meters outside that vented, were probably ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Rain has ended. Glad to see the northern edge tick north enough to give me .47". Meanwhile the beat goes on, month after month, after month for areas just south of me. Congrats Manchester, they should hit 4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found a house a few houses down that is reporting to Weather Underground. Don't know how good his rain gauge is, but currently reporting 3.2" so far. Again, I have no idea what his equipment is, just reporting what it says at the moment. Dan, Congrats on your move. I'm wishing you and your family all the best in your new home. You picked a good time to leave Methuen. The city is being hit by one scandal after another. And I'm sure there are additional scandals in the pipeline.

That certainly doesn't sound good. I haven't been too close to the issues in Methuen as of late, but based on your comment I am glad I moved on. One thing I noticed at least down where I was, was all the houses they have build building in Northern Methuen up on Hampstead street and Howe...just house after house...the traffic was getting unbearable.

You're welcome. Methuen has allowed too many homes to be built. The schools are bursting at the seams because they are so overcrowded. And the traffic in the area has become very much like the traffic in the Boston area. Each afternoon and morning Rte 93 and Rte 495 are choked with traffic for hours. How are the home prices in your area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main reason why we moved North, to get more land and more house for the money. Yes property taxes are higher but wanted out of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I-90 WB closed in Boston due to jacknived tractor trailers. Tornado warning up in Marblehead. Looks like I'm about to get crushed by a line to my SW in Neponset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I'd look out right in Scooter's hood and near the South Shore for another tornado warning. There's some sort of boundary there and things are really starting to blossom. Might be breeding ground for quick spinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
