For residents around Draper Street, Sunday’s unusual summer-like weather was cooled off by an unexpected flood. Peter Green managed to get some photos of the Dec. 12 incident — a 15-foot-high geyser of water coming from a hydrant on Draper Street. He said he was working at home when he heard water, but it seemed stronger than that of someone watering the garden. Then, he said “people from the street started calling ‘Come see this!’” Green said many, mainly kids, stood around to watch it. “Nobody was worried,” he said. “Everybody was having fun. I put on my shorts and flip-flops and enjoyed the water on this unusually warm December day.” It took authorities about an hour to stop the geyser, he said. — Claire Harlin
