Wellesley’s all wet

August 8, 2023 by Bob Brown Leave a Comment

Vehicles were getting stuck in flooded roadways and homes were being swamped in Wellesley during Tuesday’s deluges that dumped more than 3 inches of rain within a couple of hours.

The Police issued warnings on social media…

Very busy late morning commute. Numerous roads and homes flooded by the heavy rain. Multiple vehicles became disabled trying to navigate flooded roadways. Weston @ Cross St. remains closed due to standing water. pic.twitter.com/lceGHSt060
