MONSON – Following the destruction of Tropical Storm Isaias, which hit on Tuesday, August 4th, the town of Monson’s Highway Department went into action. The Highway Department’s highway surveyor John R. Morrell said the aftermath of the tropical storm was “pretty bad.” “I think we had more streets closed than anybody in Western Mass.,” said Morrell. “We had over 85 trees blocking roads. The trees were on wires, that was a problem.” He also said about 60 streets were inaccessible for the first 24 hours; they could only remove the trees that weren’t on wires and had to wait for National Grid to get some tree and line crews to remove the ones that were. “We can’t touch anything on wires, naturally,” said Morrell. He said he commends National Grid for their work in helping the town recover from the storm and that crews from other states and even Canada had come down to assist the town.
