I'm not surprised. Thanks for posting this. (but no need to lock it friends-only)

I figured we could all look outside and safely assume...but since the city posted the alert I thought I would pass it on :)

I didn't lock this post? Maybe it is because my own personal journal is set to friends only?

does this recind the street closures?

[ron_newman]

I'd expect so (and also the bus re-routings) since no outdoor event is going to happen tonight.

As I type this right now the rain has actually stopped. But that probably won't last long.

WHY ARE WE SHOUTING :(

[cintyber.livejournal.com]

My guess is they copy and pasted from the City of Somerville's announcement.

[ifotismeni]

ah, yeah.

that or they need to type over the sound of fireworks.

[ron_newman]

I dunno, ask Tom Champion.

That's probably why it's locked. Are you able to change the locking on it after the fact?

[jamiesquared.livejournal.com]

Yep, just did.

SO YOU CAN HEAR OVER THE FIREWORKS.

[ron_newman]

or the thunder

More cynically, does this rescind parking restrictions?

[hrafn.livejournal.com]

Right. Who needs fireworks when we have lightning?
