All the roads in my town(I dont live in Manchester I live right outside of it) are closed. But for some reason I still had to work :(. All the schools are closed indefinately as far as I know around here and there are natonal guard all over the place. A bunch of roads around here have been washed out and some people had to get evacuated. Luckily I havent had to get evacuated. and I think we still have two more days of rain. And already this is the wettest may in NH history. And they say this is the worst flood in 70 years. Just an update.

I live in Boston and nothing is really happening here. However, my mom lives in Lowell and it is getting pretty flooded on the streets.

I picked a good week to go on vacation :(

at least all this rain is forcing me to really do when I took the week off to do -- take care of business around the house and move furniture.

In NoCal, we rarely get any rain between April until November. Highs here today and tomorrow...98*!! Too fvckin hot...usually 100 by memorial day, just starting a bit earlier this year I guess...

They were working on a bridge in downtown Manchester, so they had a temp bridge so the construction workers have a platform to work on and it was washed away. My sister is so happy she has no school. And the school days they are missing right now dont have to be made up becuase NH is under a state of emergency. This is the craziest weather I have ever seen.

OH NO! Sorry to hear that...


It would be insensitive to say "indoor swimming pool" for the win...so I won't...
Especially since my basement gets wet EVERYTIME that it rains...:(
