Kirkwood Flood of ‘08

On Wednesday, June 4, we had 4 inches of rain in less than an hour, and guess what, the Big Dig did not accomplish its main goal of ending flooding downtown. Apparently the box culvert did not improve the flow, at least not enough to avoid the worst flooding in decades. Cars were floating in the street, people were playing in the street (in the water), and the pace of life slowed just a bit, just for a while.

I put my videos of the flooding on YouTube, here is one:

Here is a slideshow of my pictures of the flood, bigger versions are here
