letting you know i am thinking of you girls up in new england- specially in the nh & mass areas being flooded.
i was talking to my sisters and it sounds pretty bad. also watching the weather cahnnel & looking at pics online. sure hope the rains stops tuesday llike they say. i'm sure it would make everyone happy if it stopped today.

in nh my one sister is near a dam that is ready to burst and alot of roads around both sisters are washing out.my sister in mass says it is the same- roads flooded & some are closed. she lives near 3 ponds. my bil works for water treatment dept and is working round the clock.in boston fenway park is under water :O(

hope you are all keeping safe.
hugs

Oh yes, we are going to start building an ark !! The rain has been horrendous! This will be the 2nd week of HEAVY downpours & the forecast says it will rain all this week also, but should be a bit lighter!

All the rivers & streams are WAY over-filled, the roadways are rivers, our govenor has declared the state of Massachusetts a state of emegency, house are being evacuated, dams are ready to burst, on damn is near my preg DD's house, they are talking about evacuating thier area soon! Really Bizzare weather- record breaking! Yes, Suzan, you should e-mail your friend in Hingham, hopefully they are not in low-laying areas. I just heard in Haverhill (north of Boston) the town is 9 feet above flood level, the river in that town has overflowed & flooded the whole town. It is getting scary !

Thanks, yes it is weird to have RT 1 closed- how often does that happen! Friday nite, We drove into Children's hospital (as you proably know) but the Jamaica Way was horrendous! (do you know that roadway?) But people were still driving like idiots- believe me I am not a pansy when it comes to driving- I will challenge the best of them ( ya have to be in Boston) but- HELLO- the road was just about flooded out- slow down !!

Thanks for caring !
