Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Here are more flood images from the historic Minuteman Bikeway, the 500th rail trail in the USA. It looks more like a riverway after 8" of rain fell during a three-day period in Arlington, MA.


This is the Minteman Bikeway and adjacent creek as seen from the end of Lowell Street Place, looking at the back of the Arlington Coal & Lumber yard and westward towards Lexington, MA.


This is the Bikeway as seen from the end of Lowell Street Place looking eastward toward Arlington Center. As you can see, the adjacent creek in the foreground has exceeded its capacity and overrun the Bikeway.

This is the Bikeway as seen from the Gold's Gym parking lot (slightly farther "downstream") looking eastward towards Arlington Center. The creek and Bikeway have become one roaring river. The Lowell Street bridge is in the distance...

...And here is some video taken from the same Gold's Gym parking lot in Arlington Heights, panning from west (Park Avenue bridge) to east "downstream" as in the above image. The power of the water has caused a substantial sinkhole in the pavement of the rail trail on the far side of the yellow center line.

This is the Minuteman Bikeway access from Frazer Road. The water pours down from the Bikeway above as it flows west to east...

...And here is the water in motion from the same vantage point, looking across Frazer Road at the Minuteman Bikeway above.

As daylight fades and the rains slow, the water rages on. I am standing on the Lowell Street bridge looking "upstream"at the Park Avenue bridge as the roaring water swallows the Minuteman Bikeway.
