Thanks for the support.... the waters are now receeding in most places allowing for surveying of the damages.... roads/bridges out in places. Just learned that the Aroostook Musterd's Road Race 5K this w/e in Ft. Kent, (UMFK) was cancelled as a result. This is the first time I can remember this happening due to flooding. Our last series race @ UMPI mid-April went on despite 4-6 inches of snow falling... That's the "County" for you.

: M,
: I'm actually up on high ground, but 40 yards
: from a feeder brook that is QUITE swollen.
: The deal is this, the rain amounts varied
: from 3 inches upwards,(well over 6 inches)
: depending upon where you lived, and then you
: had to factor in topography, ie, closer to
: streams/rivers, etc. the greater the
: "swelling" factor. This w/e's
: local canoe race may be effected as the
: water is TOO high to get under a bridge so
: the start line may have to be moved
: downstream... I just got an e-mail from the
: Fredericton Marathon stating that their
: course NEXT w/e may well be impacted, as
: well,(They haven't mentioned it turning into
: a triathlon YET). The GOOD news is this...
: that at least all of the ice was cleared
: from the rivers/streams PRIOR to the
: flooding or it would have been MUCH, MUCH
: worse...
: But it's things like this, along with the
: brutal winters, (this year close to
: 200" of snow) that make us a TOUGH
: breed. Thanks for the thoughts!!

: It sound's horrific from what I've heard on
: the local news, is it this bad where you're
: located too?
:
: I was actually watching MSNBC this morning
: and they mentioned the flooding and
: evacuation, but clearly used some stock
: 'evacuation' footage because it showed a
: four lane highway chock full of cars with
: all sorts of license plate, like
: California... WLBZ2 was much more.
