100 Year Storm

It is called the 100 year storm.   Eighteen inches of rain has fallen in less than a month completely overwhelming the many rivers and lakes of the area.   My commute, which has been on hold for a few days was an eye opener. I don't live in Taunton, Ma and subsequently didn't keep up with the news.  

I made it a point to bring my camera and the following are two days after the rains have stopped.   Taunton is a very old New England city and many of the buildings involved in this 100 year storm, were there for the last two or in some cases three.

  4. What a mess! Sorry to hear about the flooding ... I hope it can be cleaned up quickly, and that there is not too much damage.
