wow...Hull is getting it bad...as in 1978 bad

From Sen Bob Hedlund


Hull Access to most of Hull is restricted because Atlantic Ave, Bay Ave, and Hull Shore Drive are all closed. There is significant flooding along Gunrock Beach. Water is overtopping the seawall, flowing around the houses, across Atlantic Ave, and into Strait's Pond, Significant erosion of the beach and dune system along Nantasket Beach. Dunes were overtopped at U Street (north end of Nantasket Beach) and water was flowing around houses and onto the road. The sewer plant is discharging into the ocean on the bay side. Low-lying houses around the Ocean Avenue Marsh are being flooded near Bayview. Overtopping of the revetment at Stony Beach near the sewer plant has compromised the road. There appears to be new damage to houses and roads along Gunrock Beach. Access to the area is still limited due to flooding.

Scituate Town Way Extension is completely flooded, so Peggotty Beach is inaccessible. There is a lot of overwash of the seawall and dunes flowing around the houses onto Edward Foster Road.
The Cole Parkway area is flooded, with water up to the condos.
Scituate EMD is in contact with the DPW director regarding the request to open the tide gate at Musquascut Pond (Coastal Storm Damage Assessment Team reported that water level is up over 2 feet from yesterday).
