The howling wind brought multiple close calls Thursday in Boston and beyond.
A construction accident in Medford, Massachusetts, was caused by the wind. Fire officials say a piece of steel was blown off a building under construction, hitting an inspector.
Firefighters had to use a cherry-picker to lower the worker down. He was taken to a hospital, but there was no word on his condition Thursday night.
In Marion, a large tree fell on a house. There were no injuries, but the damage was significant.
There was a similar scene in Duxbury, where trees fell on several wires, causing a road to close.
Construction debris that blew off a construction project in Boston's Back Bay smashed the back window of a car with a babysitter and a young child inside.
And in the city's Dorchester neighborhood, Favio Mozer walked up to her car to find a large tree limb on it.
