NEW ENGLAND — Communities across Massachusetts and New Hampshire were underwater after another round of heavy rain and strong wind gusts brought high tides that resulted in coastal flooding.

Areas in Boston flooded included Morrisy Blvd, The North End, and the Seaport.

Boston Harbor reached a water level of 14.41 feet at high tide, the fourth highest on record. It’s a level only reached twice since the Blizzard of ‘78.
