Long Wharf in Boston flooded during Friday's storm
BOSTON -- Long Wharf in Boston was completely underwater during Friday's storm. Outdoor seating at the Chart House was submerged in water.
Around 11 a.m., a linen company was trying to make a delivery at Chart House but they were unable to.
"I've actually been doing this for about three years now and I've never seen it like this before. This is insane, we've had many storms but nothing to this magnitude, this is insane," said Jacob Smith of Preferred Services Co. "Give me a raft or something, a canoe. Maybe Santa is bringing me a canoe."
High tide, matched with heavy rain and strong winds, left the communities along the coast concerned about flooding.
The New England Aquarium across from Long Wharf tells WBZ that it's become more common for them over the past decade.
"Our staff and our scientists have really put a lot of effort into looking at this issue and seeing how collectively our community can come together and make a more resilient waterfront for Boston," said Luz Arregoces, Community Relations Director for the New England Aquarium.
The MBTA closed the Long Wharf entrance to the Aquarium T station before high tide as a precaution.
