There is quite a mess at Conwell Ave. and North St.

Not to mention the river that I had to walk in through to get home from Clarendon Hill.

I also saw a large branch on top of a car. Quite a mess entirely.

Update on Conwell Ave. and North St.:

The water (at one point there was a good 6-8 stream down the entirety of Conwell) has receded, allowing us to see the several foot-deep hole that has developed in the intersection. There is concrete spread across about a 30 foot by 30 foot area (basically all the way down North towards Powderhouse). I am not sure if the water just pushed the concrete or if the road just exploded, but...

Somerville Fire has responded. They are concerned about the structural integrity of North Ave. and have blocked off the intersection in one block in every direction.

The neighbors are out in force, armed with digital cameras and cell phones. Nothing brings neighbors together like something like this.
