Nice video. Parts of CT got 8 inches! There was flooding everywhere I went. I spent most of the day helping out a friend in Guilford whose basement pump chose today of all days to quit working. We called Home Depot and they said they had 10 pumps left in stock, but when we arrived just 15 minutes later there was just one, which we bought. In the meantime, another friend of mine in the same area was entirely unreachable all day because there was no access to the house that wasn't deep underwater, you couldn't even walk there without hip waders.

I'm in Needham, MA at the moment and the flooding of the last week+ was similar to a couple of other events I remember while growing up. Call it a 1 in 5 year event, here. Somewhere in the ballpark of 13 inches of rain in just over a week. There's some water in our basement that destroyed a rug. No big deal. That happens every few years.

That's cool stuff, Nick. Where did you film that at? I saw the flooding from the storm in Mid-March when I was home for spring break. Logan Airport saw 6.98" of rain between Mar 13-15. I remember seeing a lot of road closings from Rte. 20 up to Rte. 117 around Wayland.

This second storm looks like it was insane around RI and CT. Boston's 14.87" of rain in March was the second wettest month on record I believe. Amazingly, it was wetter than May 2006, when "500-year floods" occurred along the north shore.
