New England - FLOODED!



National news, so everyone has heard the news. Worst flooding in 100 years!! We just had a lot of rain over many days, so rivers & lakes over flowed. The picture on the front page of the Boston Globe is the highway that I drive to get to work each day. It was only closed one day, but what a mess it made, getting to work!
A busy week at work, so I didn't take many first hand photos...


This mall - completely flooded. I can't imagine how long it will take to clean it up...

Many co-workers stayed home for a few days - pumping out their basements. Lucky for us, we only had a puddle in our basement.

These next photos were taken 2-3 days after the flooding. Roads are still closed, rivers are still over the banks - all across New England.

On our way to the gym:

This river - so over it's banks - you don't know where the banks are any more!


On our way to the yacht club - standing water everywhere!


On my way to the barn - local airport: flooded


Lots of flooded back yards...
On our way to Starbucks... there is a nearby river - these roads are still closed. Our doctor's office is just down the street. I'm sure they were completely flooded. A gas station, liquor store, 99's restaurant had more than 3 feet of water running through them.
