Storm Breaks 50-Foot Maple in Half

The overnight wind and rain storm broke one tree in Westborough in half and uprooted another one, Department of Public Works Assistant Manager Richard Voutas said today.

A 50-foot maple on Spring Road broke in half, falling into the wires, around 1 a.m., he said. The electric company responded to the scene to assist.

At about 1:30 a.m., a 40-foot maple on Ruggles Pond Road uprooted, Voutas said.

Six areas of Westborough had issues with branches, he said.

The National Weather Service had the area under a wind advisory from 4 p.m. Tuesday to 6 this morning.
