Talk about Gridlock – Lock on the Fortress Building Gone with the Wind

Holy Moly!
On Friday, driving rain, thunder and lots of lighting happened in Boston and was captured via social media (check out our Instagram stories). The storm was so fast and furious that it actually knocked the giant inflatable lock on the Fortress Storage Building in Dorchester onto 93.

It did cause some traffic delays but the lock itself deflated on on the side of the highway.
Stay safe!
