The main thoroughfares in East Providence were still clear on any obstacles. There was some minor street flooding, though nothing that would preclude drivers from getting home safely. The roads were, however, pretty barren for the start of rush hour, most businesses having already closed and most residents seemingly having heeded the word of officials to stay home.
