Thunderstorms Today Could Bring Flooding

There are some booms sounding over Cranston this afternoon, and no, they're not the loud bangs heard a few days ago that several readers have asked me to look into.

A strong thunderstorm brought heavy rain to Cranston this afternoon. Conditions are ripe for street flooding in this city that expects it every time torrential downpours come through.

There is no flash flood watch in effect, however, but the National Weather Service is warning people to take caution during the storms.
