Wave hitting Winthrop Parkway in Revere. Photo by Brian Riccio.
Morrissey Boulevard? Long Wharf? Winthrop Drive? All shut at the morning high tide as wind-whipped waves came ashore. But also Day Boulevard in South Boston.
Even the bike path along the Mystic River flooded, granted, on the harbor side of the dam, as Marion Davis shows us in a photo her husband took:
Davis says that this was five to ten minutes after high tide, and that the on-land water receded quickly after that.
James Sanna got a look at the upswelled Mystic as he crossed the Tobin on a 111 bus:
Carty watched as the harbor rolled up onto Columbus Park (even as, of course, the tide was also closing in on the Chart House on Long Wharf):
Along Fort Point Channel, the Harborwalk literally became a harbor walk, as the Fort Pointer shows us:
As you can see here, flooding on Winthrop Parkway in Revere has caused the DCR to shut it down to traffic. #BombCyclone@universalhubpic.twitter.com/usngmJ684L

In Winthrop itself, a lobster buoy floated in the Elks parking lot as motorists played ride or die through the flooded roadway, IMKind reports.
Lazygal, who lives in Clipper Ship Wharf on the East Boston waterfront, reports building management urged residents who normally park in the public garage or on the street, to move their cars higher up, to the valet level, to avoid flooding, as workers tried to get the complex flood gates up.
Quite a walk next to #BostonHarbor this morning! #ClimateChange#Boston#NorthEnd#SeaLevelRise#Waterfront#WinterStormpic.twitter.com/nbqrVMaCd3
