Rising water

CONCORD, N.H. - Torrential rain forced hundreds of people from their homes in New Hampshire and Massachusetts on Sunday, flowing over dams and washing out roads.

New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch and Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney both declared states of emergency, activating the National Guard to help communities respond to the storm. Maine’s governor also declared a state of emergency for one county.

“It’s a very serious situation,” Lynch said, adding that forecasters were predicting 12 to 15 inches of rain by the end of the storm in parts of southern New Hampshire. “It continues to change and the situation continues to worsen.”
A dam in Milton, N.H., was in danger of failing, which could send a 10-foot wall of water downstream, the National Weather Service said in a bulletin. People downstream were being evacuated in the town.

The state Office of Emergency Management said at least a dozen dams were being closely watched.

Flooding in Peabody:
In Massachusetts, cars were pulled from flooded streets in downtown Peabody, about 20 miles north of Boston, and about 300 people were evacuated from an apartment complex for seniors.

About 150 residents in Melrose, Mass., had to leave their homes after sewage lines were overwhelmed, backing up into houses, Romney said.

Some parts of New Hampshire had seen 7 inches of rain by midday Sunday and forecasters said up to 5 more inches might come during the day.

About 100 residents were evacuated from their homes in Wakefield, N.H. because of concerns about two dams in the area.

Officials also reported a railroad culvert and embankment washed out in Milton, with train tracks suspended in midair. And the local emergency management office in Hooksett said the town essentially was closed because so many roads were flooded.

‘Three feet deep and climbing’
Tom Johnson said water was flowing on Sunday into the basement of his Salem home, where a pump that handles 1,500 gallons of water an hour was not keeping up.

“There are areas in my backyard that are probably three feet deep and climbing as we speak,” Johnson said.

Flooding in New Hampshire in October killed seven people, carried off homes and washed away miles of roads down to bedrock.

In Maine, flooding was reported on 60 roads in the southern part of the state, said governor’s spokeswoman Crystal Canney.

Ah, so that's why the Red Sox haven't played the past few days! Hey, good for me, the Yankees are now tied with them!

Oh, yeah, and sorry to the people who are left without homes in this disaster.
