Public Information Statement

Statement as of 8:28 PM EDT on August 19, 2008


... A preliminary survey indicates that the damage in Acushnet
Massachusetts was a result of straight line winds which were as
strong as 80 to 100 mph...

This is a very preliminary storm survey from the damage that was
caused by a thunderstorm in Acushnet Massachusetts between 335 and
350 PM. A much more detailed storm survey will be issued later
tonight.

It has been determined that the damage in Acushnet was caused by
straight line winds which are also referred to as microbursts.
The microburst resulted in a broken path length of 3 to 4 miles and a
width of up to a half a mile. The strongest winds were estimated to
be between 80 and 100 mph in two locations... which were at the
beginning an end of the path.

The path started in the vicinity of New Bedford Reservoir to the
north of lake street. It then extended in a south southeast
direction to the Main Street... Derry Hill Road section of Acushnet.

Again... a much more detailed damage survey will be completed later
tonight. Thank you very much for your patience today.
