Thats only what I could get close enough to get pictures of. Three hours in traffic for a dozen shots wasnt worth it. Theres an RV/camper dealer nearby that got most, but not all, of the inventory off the lot. Whats left is rumored to be floating around the lot or flipped on its side. The Kenworths and Peterbuilts in the next lot are up over the hoods. Thats not even the deep stuff.

Yeah, I was looking at that picture for some time trying to figure out (guasstimate) how high the water has risen. That's some good flooding.

WooHoo! Time for me to loot! Some water-damaged parts can definitely replace the rotted parts on my camper! Was it Arlington RV?

There was some flooding out by San Francisco mid-march, but nothing this severe.

Wow man, here's hoping for the best where you and your family live. I heard on the radio that this is on record as the worst flooding Rhode Island has seen in 200 years.

Fortunately the army came and used some explosives to solve the problem before anything serious happened :>
