   With farm fields soaked and basements flooded, this was one of the wettest autumns on record in New England.

          The wet weather began with garden variety thunderstorms that were followed by a string of Nor’easter rain storms.

    Climate scientists warn this pattern of more intense and more frequent storms in the Northeast will continue in the years to come.

    WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Michael Rawlins, the assistant director of the Climate System Research Center at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
