Stevie Z. reports that when driving home through the Tip O'Neill tunnel late last night (before the rains), he saw water on the road and coming down from the ceiling:

... I would say it was like standing under an awning and seeing the water come off it during a moderately heavy rainstorm. ...

He called the State Police to report it; says the dispatcher said "thanks" but didn't ask him for a location:

Maybe I'm just being a bit touchy on the matter, but goddamn, I am not feeling the sort of safety and security I think I should be feeling in a $14 billion system. No sir, I am not feeling the Big Dig love one single bit. And you'd think the State Police might at least pretend to be concerned, just for the sake of calming a very jittery public.

Was his name Matt?
