Claude Vautour just sent us this photo of Pulaski Park in Gardner. Very much flooded. Gardner Police Dispatch tells us that Clark Street should be avoided due to flooding. There is flooding throughout the City, even a small sinkhole near the library. Note: This is a life-threatening situation. DO NOT GO OUT in the flooding.
