It’s been raining for days here. New England has had 8 to 12 inches, which has resulted in flooding for many areas. People were evacuated in Lowell, which is about 20 minutes from here. Many schools have been cancelled. From a news site:
“The flood water also overwhelmed sewage systems and drowned waste water treatment plants. Burst pipes in Haverhill have been dumping 35 million gallons of waste a day since Sunday into the Merrimack River. A flood at a regional treatment plant in Lawrence was threatening to shut down the power there, which would send sewage into the Merrimack at a rate of 115 million gallons a day.”
Yummy. I’ve been inside a lot of the time this weekend, learning Perl – a language very useful for geeks!
