I am so sick of flood water. You have no idea.
My house? Is okay. Two inches of water in the basement, nothing to worry about.
But getting anywhere near my house is hell. I-95 is closed because it is now part of the Pawtuxet River. (two exits south of my house). The road less than a mile south of my house is closed due to the Pawtuxet. The secondary road I’d use to get around said closed road is ALSO closed because of the Pawtuxet.
Basically? The Pawtuxet has taken over Rhode Island. Or at least a good portion of it.
I couldn’t take the commuter rail home last night because it couldn’t make it through the floodwater on the tracks. The commuter rail train cars are double-deckers, and the lower level’s floor would have been literally at or below the water line. So I took Amtrak home.
I watched a train create a boat wake last night. The water was ABOVE the rail.
9 inches of rain in two days. Sixteen inches of rain since two weeks ago.
So. Sick. Of. Water.
