Boston’s Seaport District saw major flooding as a powerful nor’easter battered the Massachusetts coastline on Thursday, January 4.

The National Weather Service said Thursday’s flooding was “getting close to coastal flooding that was observed w/ the #blizzard of 1978.” Thousands of flights were cancelled due to the storm.
