I left work to check on the basement and all is dry. Two lanes of RT6 in Johnston was flooded only leaving the high speed lane open. Its crazy down there.
Usual spots are wet but the streams and rivers are still with-in their banks.
I'm sure the local idiots are up in the woods ripping up the class 6 roads.

Rte 109 between Millis and Medfield is closing this afternoon and will likely be closed for 4-5 days. It's where the Charles River basin is and it flooded bad the other week. Road was closed for 3 days last time so should be worse now. There's no easy way to go around either

not too bad up here, rain but no major flooding.
Most of my stuff crested around 5:30, we're not supposed to get this next round. 
It's nice when the attention to detail pays off. One of my favorite structures working as designed ...................and downstream. Sorry folks, we can't save it all for summer.

This is one of our old mill pond dams that we inherited. 
Earth with a masonry face around 8' tall...........completely overtopped, only thing that saved it was the culverts and roadway downstream created a nice tailwater. 
Jeep starts to get a little light on it's feet in around a 12" crossing.

NPR said this morning that it was Boston's second rainiest month on record, 14.5". And that Rhode Island hit 16"+ Amazing!

My buddy is going through the same thing but his is finished. I tried to head down to West Warwick last night but 95 was closed due to flooding.
I had to go to a seminar in Providence today which is normally a 15 minute drive. It took me the better part of an hour due to the road closures and traffic.

Three sump pumps going for three weeks straight . One neighbor has his garage under the house and has 5' of water in the basement. And to think that all this rain could have been snow!!!

Not true. It' still open. It never closed.
The new 403 in NK,RI has one lane closed. It looks like they're worried that the side hills are gonna collapse. Gotta love poor engineering! The road is less than 2 years old!
