On March 2, 2018, Winter Storm Riley wreaked havoc along coastal Massachusetts and inland areas.  Below are photos taken on the day of the storm, at about 1pm, from the Neponset Greenway Trail and Granite Avenue in Dorchester, Milton Landing and various spots in Quincy. High tide was at 11:13am.

Milton Landing and the Milton Yacht Club, right at the peak of high tide. The entire parking lot has disappeared, all that’s visible is the tops of the hand railings.

The front of the Adams Inn in Quincy after the tide has begun to recede. Notice the “wrack line” near or against the building showing how high the tide got.

The parking lot behind the Adams Inn in Quincy after the water had receded at least a foot.

The parking area under the Route 3A Neponset River Bridge after the water had receded by at least a foot.

A failed attempt to get off the ramp from Quincy Shore Drive even with water levels well below their peak.

Drivers detour around flood debris left on Commander Shea Boulevard in Quincy once the water has receded.
