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 had a friend downtown who at 3:39 reported hail the size of grapes at Northeastern U. In S'ville, I saw no hail. The height of the storm lasted only a few minutes, though.

It hailed in Davis Sq, but only for a minute or so. That, and the hail wasn't very large at all, so it melted very quickly. I know this because I was busy staring out of the window at the two large branches crashing into my yard from one of my maples.

I know it because it makes an awfully dramatic noise on the window air conditioners.

I also saw grape sized hail around 5:30 somewhere in the Woburn/Wincester area.

Oh and I was on my bike at the time. :(

At NEU at that time, where I work, there wasn't any.
Odd.
