Town-by-town report: Which Mass. communities had the strongest wind gusts, highest rain, snow totals
Along Vale Street on the Chelsea-Everett line, a Boston 25 photographer spotted floodwaters rising close to the hoods of some stranded vehicles.
The flooding, likely due to clogged drains in the area of a construction site, isn’t far from Chelsea High School.
In Falmouth, one driver was stranded in the sand on Menauhant Road as large waves battered the immobile car.
The powerful winter storm also forced a large tree to topple over in Marshfield. The felled tree landed on a house, carving a large open wound through the roof.
Flooded roadways also snarled traffic in many other communities including:
Route 1A in Norwood
Walnut Street in Saugus
Quincy Avenue at East Howard Street
Ridge Hill Road in Freetown
Great Road in Maynard
Logan Terminal A in Boston
123, Main Street, Cornet Stetson Road in Scituate
Flooding in #Charlton on I-90 WB. Left lane closed for the next several hours for #MassDOT pumps.
