I've lived and worked in Essex County in the northeast corner of Massachusetts since moving here 14 years ago. Until last year I hadn't seen anything like this.

But here we are, 1 year later, and it's deja vu all over again. A view of the same parking lot/strip mall from today:

A little less water, but still impressive.

I wasn't able to get close to the Friendly's last year, but it was under water then also. The next shot is from the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune showing the same restaurant a little closer up.

I suspect they won't bother rebuilding this time.
