Swampscott Flooded.....Humphrey Street partially closed off

From my back window
Due to the fierce and loud rain storm last night we got so much rain that my street is flooded for two blocks. This morning I looked out my back window and saw this. I thought oh my, we are under water and ran to my front window and felt relief....no water. My condo complex was not under water, phew!


But these poor people who have businesses and basements flooded. And, below, these three cars stuck that tried to drive down the street!
Three cars stuck

Outside my front window the sea is calm.

Hurricane Irene




Looks like the last Hurricane we had here in New England, The Great Hurricane of 1938, was the first major hurricane to strike New England since 1869. The storm formed near the coast of Africa in September of the 1938  becoming a Category 5 hurricane before making land fall as a Category 3 hurricane on Long Island NY on September 21. The hurricane was estimated to have killed between 682 and 800 people,[2] damaged or destroyed over 57,000 homes, and caused property losses estimated at US$306 million ($ 4.77 billion in 2011).[3] Even as late as 1951, damaged trees and buildings were still seen in the affected areas.[4] To date it remains the most powerful, costliest and deadliest hurricane in New England history.
