Geyser on Huntington Avenue

Jessica Feldish got some video of an MWRA water main turned geyser on Huntington Avenue outbound, at the Brookline line just past where it goes under the Jamaicaway. Needless to say, avoid the area.

We just drove home THROUGH this. It's gushing enough water to be spraying the westbound Jamaicaway bridge lanes with water, which instantly freezes on your windshield. I imagine they'll shut that down soon, there was already a cop up there monitoring stuff.

So now dealing with both fire (on Hyde Park Avenue) and ice.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Much colder out and the geyser would've been freezing in mid-air. Like this phenomenon.
