The Floods of 2006


Norm and Stinky huffed it through the woods Sunday, to check the river. New England has been clobbered with 6-12 inches of non-stop rain the past week. (Some places got almost 17 inches of rain!!) Many residents, particularly those in metro areas, have been force to evacuate their homes and seek shelter in schools and hospitals. Those living in higher, rural areas seem to be doing a little better, although many bridges and roads have been closed.

The National Guard, police and fire professionals have been outstanding in helping citizens.

Heard about the insane flooding, and hoping you and Stinky and the rest of your peeps are safe and dry.

Thanks LA!! The old timers were brilliant in building houses in good locations, so Norm has been dry.

The has been some massive sewage leakage in bigger cities.
