Ep: 052 - Historic Flooding

ENVIRONMENTALLY SPEAKING

Rhode Island, has had a very dry summer season and it’s unusual to have so much rain fall in a very short time in the month of September, but that’s what happen last week. In this episode we are going to discuss the historic amount of rain fall that we experienced last week. We had so much rain that it actually flooded Interstate 95 in Providence at what’s called the Thurbers Avenue curve. The interstate was shut down for hours. We discuss how some people tried pushing through the flooded area in their vehicles and what the outcome was because of their decision. We want to give a HUGE shoutout to all the first responders that came out to help and a very special shoutout out to the Messer Street Fire Station.

Have you ever driven through a flooded area? If so, we want to hear from you!
