NEWTON, MA — It's windy out there. So windy, Newton Fire Department crews had to respond to at least one report that a tree that had fallen on a car by 11:30 a.m. And then it was a near continuous stream of reports of wires down or trees down throughout the day.
By mid afternoon there were nearly 200 addresses without power.
No one was injured, unless you count the car or the 100-year-old tree that fell on top of it:
