Stupid rain.
It's been raining since Wednesday. We've gotten about 7 inches of rain so far and we're expecting up to another 7 through Thursday.

Several towns are shut down and literally hundreds of roads have been closed.

Maybe I understated the condition. The Governor has declared a state of emergency due to severe flooding. Damns and bridges have been collapsing out here today.

well you guys need to buy late 80s early 90s toyota corollas. I **** you not I once saw one drive into a flooded intersection, dissappear underneath the water and drive back out the other side. Most amazing thing I have seen in my entire life.

We're good (more or less on a hill) but all around us is pretty soggy.

Send it down, my woods truck is getting manned everyday with 2 guys from 12-8. I'm actually getting tired of all the overtime. I've been on it all week and haven't had a day off in over a week.

SEND RAIN!!!!

Re: Stupid rain.
I'd love to. Gov. Lynch just called in the National Guard.

Hooksett and Goffstown are completely shut down. There are mandatory evacuations in at least a dozen other towns and schools in most of southern NH are closed for tomorrow. They just updated rainfall numbers on the news. We're up to 10-11 inches so far.

The Merrimack river is expected to crest at 10 feet OVER flood level by tomorrow afternoon.

We've been getting intermittent showers throughout the week. Today we had Thunderstorms for most of the day.

I rode yesterday though. Beautiful and Sunny.



It sucks about the weather up North right now. I hope things clear up for you guys very soon.

As for the FL fire, that thing has been goin for a while now hasn't it?

yup, getting sick of the rain. Looks like it could make a huge mess like last year in Keene and Alstead. Lowell is having big problems because of the Merrimack. A bunch of schools in Mass closed too. Oh well, what can we do? Let's just hope everyone will make it thru alright!

Nothing but rain by me and I had the distinct pleasure of cutting up soaking wet carpet today and taking it out of my basement, followed by pumping the standing water from the floor into the wash tub. Yeah rain.

Yours and mine both. I was supposed to wrap up my first semester with an Algebra final tonight. I just found out the school is closed. Once upon a time, that was a good thing. Not so much now.

We've had a massive low pressure center parked over Michigan since last Thursday. It's been rainy and cold for 5 days now and will be for another few. Fortunately, we aren't get the heavy stuff like the east coast...hope you guys dry out soon.

The fires down here are getting worse. Another 800 acres just south of New Smyrna Beach has closed I-95 again today. We're sending an Engine tomorrow with 4 guys for a little help. A tropical depression would help us out a bunch. Not another Hurricane, just a depression please.
