Day 7 of rain has left us with water pretty much everywhere. At least we are on the northern edge of the worst of the storms... though we've had some pretty heavy downpours in the last 7 days... No major flooding in the immediate area, but flood waters to our south have led to manditory evactuations to thousands of homes and businesses.
Over a foot of rain has fallen in parts of York County here in Maine (we are along the northern edge of York)... Here in Ocean Park we've recieved at least 7 inches and possibly more (no one thought to install a rain gauge here at camp - maybe we will after this...
With a water table (in dry months) only 6-12 inches under the surface, the rain water has nowhere to go except flowing down streets and though already full streambeds. Though the good news is that we are currently not in a fire danger... :)
The highest rainfall amounts in 10 years and the worst flooding in 70 has left much of Eastern New England under water...
