Some great buried cars out in the parking lot. I have not seen many 30+" totals, although Worcester is up to 28". Boston is still under 22," so this storm will not be top 3, I think.
CT, between Norwich and Hartford east to RI, really got dumped on. 5 - 6" an hour early last night.
Cape Cod and SE Mass have most of the power outages. ~400K. Some flooding all along the coast, especially between Cape Ann (Gloucester) and NH, the beachfronts and causeways north of Logan, and the stretch South of Boston Harbor down to Cape Cod.
As for the Hancock Tower, that was in the 70s. It was a combination of the double pain glass cracking, the twisting of the Tower and wind coming up through the stair wells that popped the glass. For a long time, they called the building the world's tallest plywood skyscraper. What is interesting is that when they did computer simulations of high wind events, the building was more in danger of flipping over its narrow sides than it's broad sides (it is a parallelogram).
