Summary

During High Tide, roads in low elevated areas can become partially flooded. 2 images of this exact event are displayed below.

Small flooding, about 6 inches deep in a low sitting area.
Bay St and 9th St being flooded near Martha's Mission Food Pantry

No matter how it may sound, it is a perfectly normal event to occur in areas like these, because once the tide lowers the water on the road goes back into the Newport River
