Will Rick roll us this weekend?

Matt Noyes at NECN predicts that after Tropical Storm Rick belts out Mexico today, its soggy remains will be carried by the jet stream toward New England and drench us on Saturday.

Should be interesting.

Sudden gusty storm knocks down trees

The fast-moving storm that just hit Boston knocked down trees across the city, Boston Fireman tweets:

A tree that fell on Cooper Street in the North End blocked the street and hit a couple of parked cars, while plunging trees on Greenville Street in Roxbury and Courtland Road in Mattapan took power lines down with them. A tree also fell across the road at Alwin Street and Dietz Road in Hyde Park.

The one good thing about all these storms

You can't have a Biblical rainy season without flood warnings, now can you?

Today's flood advisory for the Boston area:

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY...INCLUDING UNDERPASSES. THE WATER MAY BE TOO DEEP TO ALLOW VEHICLES TO CROSS SAFELY...OR THE ROADWAY MAY BE UNDERMINED.
