SALEM, MA -- Salem is drying out after yesterday's record-setting high tide caused widespread flooding and road closures. At one point, the flooding was so bad city officials considered opening a shelter at Salem High School and Salem Police issued multiple warnings for drivers to stay off the roads.

Despite the harsh weather, lots of Patch Readers had their cameras out. Below are some of the photos they submitted to us, documenting the extent of the flooding when high tide peaked at 12:38 pm.
