Lynch declares emergency, flooding washing out roads
CONCORD, N.H. -- Gov. John Lynch declared a state of emergency and activated the National Guard on Sunday as torrential rain washed out roads, flowed over dams and forced scores of people from their homes _ all while forecasters predicted more heavy rain on the way.

A day of rescues and evacuations
"It's a very serious situation," Lynch said, noting forecasters were predicting 12 to 15 inches of rain in parts of southern New Hampshire by the end of the storm."It continues to change and the situation continues to worsen," Lynch said.
It's the wettest May on record. No kidding.
I didn't realize it was so bad. It's not as serious further north. I had to cancel an appointment in Concord scheduled for today due to closed roads.

Police are giving out tickets around here to people who blow past the Road Closed signs.
