    They don't call us the Ocean State for nothing



    2 weeks ago we got hit with enough rain to make 5' floods all over the place. Today flood waters hit 7'




    I'm uploading some pics off my phone now. Shits crazy out there

    Apparently I forgot how to upload pics from my phone so I'm just going to steal some from friends facebook albums

    Building on the way to my school. Last flood there was a backhoe in this lot with water up to the top of the rear wheels. The water wasn't even at the building that time

            Since you clearly stole that last pic from Pat I'm gonna repost what I said on his album:

            Wow dude that's crazy. I joking always said that state would get flooded over one day but damn.

            No longer stock ride height, rolling as low as a daily driver in New England should without worrying about breaking an oil pan. :up:

                Pat got some insane pictures, I figured I'd let him post most of them though. They even closed RT95 down for a few hours. People were riding around Wakefield with inflateables with outboard engines lol.


                Luckily I live on a hill :p

                        PT cruisers have surprisingly high ride heights lol. My car wouldn't have made it through the stream at the end of my driveway.


                        Went out in my aunts jeep to get some pics of Wakefield. I didn't know it was this bad down here, I was never able to get this far into town.

                        The railings in this picture are about 8' above the stream usually


                        Same with these bridges

                        More Main st.


                        You can't even see this stream from the sidewalk usually


                        Second story windows of the mill building in the top picture

                          We're just upstream of you along the Blackstone. It's wicked high up here, backed up from where the Blackstone, Mumford, and West rivers converge just south of my house. It's really gonna be comin' through Woonsocket on the way to Providence over the next 72 hours or so.......stay dry down there!
