Memorial Drive Closed (Tuesday due to flooding)
Looking out my window there's a whack of police cars blocking off Memorial. It is closed east of 10th street, and looks closed at least as far as 5th st- possibly further.
Can anybody further east downtown see what's going on?

I drove that stretch about 3 hours ago. There was some major puddle action. I bet some dumass hit a puddle without his wipers on and crashed.

There's been flooding in that area before when the storm sewers get backed up. I live about a block from there and was considering running home at lunch, but now I think maybe I'll skip it.

If you ban flooding, what are the overpaid, underworked firemen supposed to do with their time?

I can see Memorial and about Centre Street from my office window. Traffic looks to be going ok.
