The Greater Boston Area has been hit by 2 “100 year floods” in the last month. The latest storm, Saturday, July 10, dumped almost 4 inches of rain in under 90 minutes. In Somerville (near Boston) a driver was trapped in a tunnel just around the corner from her house, this much rain results in the kind of apocalyptic-looking flood that swallows cars, cows, and anything else in its way. We’re just not used to seeing this type of flash flooding this close to Boston.
Driving a car through a “road-river” can be extremely damaging to your car. It’s also very dangerous, and should be avoided at all costs. If you cannot find a safe place to park your car, be mindful of rushing rocks, tree limbs, and other hazardous objects that can crack your auto glass, and potentially impair your visibility.
Existing damage, and the damage your auto glass could sustain from a flash-flood, should be fixed immediately, as weather stops for no one.
If we have another flood this summer, we can hope the city is well equipped to deal with it, but if you’re on the road, heading over a hill into a water pit that was minutes earlier an intersection, street or driveway, best be prepared with a well-tuned car and safe, strong auto glass. If your auto glass damaged and you need an auto glass replacement is the consequence of stormy weather, please contact TeleGlass today.
