Flooding on Rte. 18 in New Bedford

Ric Duarte shows us Rte. 18 in New Bedford, suggests, "Umm ... better stay away!"

That's what happens when close to 4 inches of rain falls. The rain wasn't quite as intense up our way, but Eastie Strong shows what it did to Memorial Drive at the MicroCenter/Trader Joe's entrance:

Morissey was bad at 8:35 am. Down to 1 lane in 3 different spots. Saw 1 car get stuck. High tide wasn't until around 11:30, figured it would be impassable at that point. I called the staties, they said they'd send a trooper immediately.

I'm curious about this photo. Did the cars just not realize how deep the was was when approaching and then get trapped?

Pretty sure it was the *drivers* who idiotically plowed into the water...

Of course, insurance (ie the rest of us) will "bail" them out...

That section of 18 is pretty much all one-way; they were pretty much toast as soon as they passed the onramp since its usually really busy and impossible to turn around.
