Been seeing lotsa TV coverage of New England flooding.Wondering how Rhode Island has been affected...particularly whether The Blackstone River has done it's "thing" and risen above the base insulators at WDDZ-550. If so, are they bothering to improvise (if so, how) or just letting silence prevail.
 
Flood??? I live high up. Everything looks fine from up here. The worst flooding has been in Northern New England. I haven't noticed Rhode Island as being that bad.
 
From what Channel 12 had on the air, the usual bodies of water in Cranston and Pawtucket (Pawtuxet and Blackstone Rivers) rose pretty high. However, I don't think rising waters were as bad as this past October. As John said, northern New England got hit pretty hard. Areas of Massachusetts such as Peabody and Methuen were also hard hit.

Thanks.Where I live now, South Central Alaska, the TV news tends to think of New England as one tiny little space where what happens in one place is happening in all places. Of course given that all of New England could easily fit inside one borough (like a county) in Alaska, that's a viewpoint that's easy to comprehend!
 
:- Connecticut also had its fair share, especially along the Farmington River and the areas of Simsbury, Canton and other areas in greater Hartford. New Britain had "only" 5+ inches of rain between Friday and Tuesday. Still nothing compared to northeastern MA and southern NH, but still bad. Surprisingly, I only heard one weather forecaster say the phrase "Well, at least our drought is finally over."
