Communities south of Boston have seen as much as 4 and a half inches of rain, with a flash flood warning still in effect.

With rain coming down so fast, storm drains couldn't handle the deluge of water. On Interstate 93 in Quincy, all were lanes closed at one point because of extreme flooding during rush hour. At least five cars were stuck on the highway until the water receded.

A "considerable" flash flood warning has been issued in Boston as heavy, life-threatening rain pounds the city and areas to the south.
