Be careful if you're planning to go anywhere tonight...

...and beware of Lake Cedar Street.





That's right near the intersection of Cedar St and Summer. (The people who got there before me said they called the city and the owners of the parked cars also showed up and moved them.)

Edited to add: Also, my roommate reports that Cherry St is a river and that Highland is also pretty bad (but not as bad as Cedar).

There are a few more pictures here but most of them are pretty bad quality.

Edited further to add: That picture was taken at about 5:45 (maybe a bit later). As of 7pm, the water appears to be pretty much gone and the road surface is visible again.

I'm glad it was of actual use to someone. Best of luck on your commute - it does seem to be going down a little but not fast enough. The storm drain must have gotten well and truly clogged.

Maybe if the drainage connects to the construction at the bottom of the hill near Elm... maybe that is the root of the cause. Either way, the city of Somerville knows and should be "on it".
