Leominster Residents Evacuated and Dams Stabilized Amid Catastrophic Flash Flooding

Evacuation orders have been lifted for residents in Leominster, Massachusetts, near the Barrett Park Pond Dam following significant flooding. The city is under a state of emergency due to "catastrophic floods." The dam suffered damage during heavy rain, causing a wall to wash away and leaving a large crater. As crews work to repair the dam, residents remain concerned about potential future flooding. The Leominster Relief Fund has been established to support those affected by the floods.
