Kaitlin sent this screenshot Sunday to show what warnings look like in a Boston accent.
Fortunately they weren’t affected much by Tropical Storm Henri. Apparently the damage to the rest of the state was mainly a school closure, three small tornadoes, and power outages. It could have been a lot worse.

Love the sign. I never knew signs had accents…lol Glad to hear it didn’t do much damage
Someone had fun with that. 🙂
That warning is more likely to attract attention than the typical prosaic British sign “Storm due shortly”.
Yes. 🙂
That’s a very fun sign. I grew up in Western MA, no accent like that there:) Glad the “stawm” wasn’t as bad for them as was predicted.
Same here. 🙂
Some saw trees uprooted in their back “yawds”.
🙂 There was damage, but not as much as there could have been. Thank goodness.
my Grandad (mother’s dad) was from Boston and had that accent!
it always seemed funny to hear him having to ‘pahk his cah’ LOL.
I can hear it in my head but don’t know how to write it. he was adorable.
🙂
you can find some good accents downunder – let’s not get started on the word accents between Aussie and us Kiwi (NZ slang for the locals) – one of the simpler words is “dance” – and yep we spell it same way, pronounce way different….
We went to Australia and New Zealand in 1966, and we sometimes had trouble with the Australian accent. I remember Andy ordering our food at a fast food place and the gal yelling at him because he didn’t understand “tike awhy”. I figured it out because she wasn’t yelling at me. Too funny. 🙂
They love their accent, those Bostoners.
🙂
Thankfully!!
Yes!
Good to know there was no more damage!
I need to share this with our meteorologists — might be fun to see what a Southern spin they could come up with.
That would be fun. 🙂
