Did You Know Commercial Street Floods Six Times A Month?

One business along the road, which fronts the North River, keeps a tide chart handy at the front desk.

On the way to the vet Monday, I came across flooded sections of Commercial Street.

It's not a water main break. Employees at All Creatures Veterinary Hospital tell me it happens six times a month during high tides along the North River.

Staffers keep a tide chart handy at the front desk, since the highest tides can force changes to the hospital's schedule.

On Monday, cars were easily passing the submerged parts of the road.
