Jay Ward has been keeping a nervous eye on the situation. His apartment is a couple of feet from the current edge of the water.
The problem is not new to Peabody. Four years ago, the center of town flooded for five days.
Now, residents and business owners just hope this water moves through quickly and doesn't linger like last time.
