sites like twitter, netflix, amazon, paypal and a long list of others. this attack was aimed at dime architect company based in manchester, new hampshire, that serveses as an internet switchboard. it crippled dms or the domain name server, the so-called address book for the internet, eventually overloading it. >> what we know is a cyber criminal group or a group of people created the opporty they funneled all of that traffic at a particular company, dyn. >> john: the hack will cost major corporations dearly. it is too early to tell who is responsible, but some say based on the methods and the magnitude, it may be russian in origin. one senior u.s. intelligence official, another cyber expert tell nbc news this is a classic case of internet vandalism and likely not state sponsored.

these types of attacks. we have to make sure we have a resilient network that is able to withstand these types of probes. >> john: with the largest outage in the northeast, a second wave spread west. tens of millions couldn't check their banking accounts or log on to local news sites. in los angeles, epic interactive sent home employees with paypal and twitter down, nobody could work. >> i think we should be concerned because it's one thing when there is an attack. it's another thing when an entire day goes by and it seems like the company involved can't fix it. >> john: with dime saying it's fighting multiple very well-planned attacks, the case of cyber warfare comes just before the election. experts say we are in unchartered territory. no critical personal or financial information was lost, as far as we know, this those attacks. >> jadiann: back to the weather now. worcester got the brunt of the rain with many streets flooded

cars with water above the tires. many drivers leaving their cars in the road. chief meteorologist jeremy reiner joins us with the extended forecast. >> jeremy: thankfully the worst has shifted east of was and really in the city of boston. the worst of the rain, the the heaviest of the rain has shifted east of downtown boston, but that said, we still have the flash flood warning in effect until midnight. and if you saw maaka's report in worcester, there are still some largeud near the storm drains. most of those have drained off, but we need a little more time to get rid of that water. look at how much water we had inwitz proper. four and a half inches of rain, stow about 3.8. pepperell about 3.6 inches of rain. city of boston 1.1 inches of rain. that's the last tally, but probably we'll finish higher than that. official hair at the airport in worcester, 4.1 inches of rain. by the way, for the city of boston, it clinches the first

precipitation in a month in boston since february. so this is one way to get out of a drought. i know you don't want this to happen very often, these flooded roadway, but that's what usually happen, you get these storms that crawl and move along. that's the city of worcester. now inside of 128, again new york more heavy rain in boston. that's now shifted east. still out on cape ann and still up through the seacoast, even some lightning strikes right there. some showers, downpours, thunderstorms, moving northeast. so that will head up toward the mid-coast of maine o the south shore, the tail of that plume of heavy tropical rain. that's about ready to jump off the south shore. and that will head east and then clip the cape over the next couple hours. so what exactly happened? big storm system continuing to evolve basically right on top of new york city and what it was doing was grabbing sol tropical moisture off the atlantic and then pulling that twaferred this warm from the right here. when that tropical moisture interacted with the front, it would be like taking a wash

water, and just ringing it out. unfortunately that happened right in the city of worcester as well as boston, and lawrence and malden and pick you town. you get the point. just locally heavy rain for a few hours. as we advance the time line after midnight tonight, the whole thing will wiped down for just a bunch of clouds by tomorrow morning. maybe even a peek or two of sun. but otherwise a lot of clouds and humid. then there will be one more band of rain that comes through early tomorrow afternoon between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. it will not be a repeat of this it's the front that is cooler and increasingly windier air. this will be a front that will generate a lot of wind on the back side of the front, even some snow showers in northern and western new england. highest elevations nothing for us, but for tomorrow afternoon, after 4:00 p.m., through tomorrow night and into sunday, it's windy. winds will gust over 30mph tomorrow evening. and i think they may gust over 40mph on sunday. but at least you'll have the sunshine. temps tomorrow start in the
