He says "overpass", I say ...

[Joel S. Berson]

John M Guilfoil and Sean Teehan, describing heavy rain Saturday that
caused flash floods in the Boston area, write:

"As rain fell, areas like Storrow Drive and low overpasses in Boston,
Cambridge, and Somerville turned into dangerous makeshift rivers; and
drivers were not ready."

Boston Globe, Sunday July 11, page B7.  Same still on the web site
(boston.com).

I too would have been unready at the overpasses.  And just think how
submerged the underpasses would have been!  (Storrow Drive is
notorious for the latter at least.)

Joel
