Historic Flood of 2010

[BoostedSpd6]

Well i figured that this event warrented a new thread so we dont clog up others with pictures and stories and can just post them in here..

here a few pictures i took this morning

Harrisville Dam at Mill Pond, ive never seen it this high and the bridge was still closed.

The New Mapleville Main Street Bridge going over Clear River, they finished building it about 6 months ago and built it 1 1/2 feet higher then the old one. good thing.

Gaza Pond Dam, Breached on its left side

Water Flowing under the walkway/stone wall in the above picture.

Ok here are the pics that im not too proud of, it was a real stupid idea to walk up to the dam.

The Roar and force of the water was amazing to see.. the whole dam was shaking violently.

The slipway below the dam..

ill have more pictues when i can get to more places, alot of roads are closed including mine, i did hear that the road didnt wash away, so thats good news.

A street at the bottom of a hill in my city.

There is a large population of Portugese in my area and they had a street dedicated to their culture. They built a church, sidewalk and street out of cobblestone which is laid like tile and grout....it didn't hold too well.

Sidewalk in front of church is gone.

Cobblestone littered half the hillside plus you can see a huge pot hole next to the backhoe.

Good thing my MS3 was at work we had no problems here.

Wow! In Fall River?

looks like an earth quake! it was actually drains and sewerage pipes that let go on the road...

Holy destruction!!!

 

[Reitrof]

Ouch.

Wow! In Fall River?

Yea....we got smashed since the whole city is basically built on top of a river and pond.

How's N. Main Street looking, just off 195? I'm heading there next Monday for a meeting.

What exit you plan on taking.....part of Exit 5 is closed since the cobblestone church is right off that exit....and Exit 6A is open 6B is closed from Pleasant St. flooding. North Main is good off of Route 24 but if you go towards the middle of the city I think there was a landslide there.

Your best bet is to take Exit 5 off of 195 E and keep right at the split onto Route 24 and keep going until you hit a North Main exit that is open....I think there are 3....one of them are bound to be open. I work in the industrial park off of North Main. Mind the potholes though there's bound to be many after the storm.

Hahaha Thanks James....i think. I was not able to get to the spot I wanted to this am to get the pics....but wow what destruction!

 

[CTt3P5]

WOW!!! That's some crazy damage there in Fall River......

Reminds me of when Hurricane Katrina hit our area. Parts of town were closed for weeks.

Train passengers are given oars now.

I'm coming from the east, Cape Cod. Thanks for the heads up. I'll see what the situation is like after the weekend. Glad I did not go today.
