Hurricane Kyle Dumps More Rain on New Hampshire

Ashland, New Hampshire
Unbelievably New Hampshire is under yet another flood warning for tonight. As hurricane Kyle works his way up the East coast, rain is literally being dumped onto our already rain soaked landscape. According to WMUR Channel 9 News, we can expect up to another 3 inches of this mess before all is said and done. So how much more can NH take? Well, in my frank opinion, we cannot take even a single drop more of rain! I am personally beginning to think I might grow scales and gills if this keeps up! If this continues and we have another snowy winter with massive spring run off then we can expect large amounts of destruction headed our way in the near future. As for the coast of Maine, they are currently under a hurricane warning. That is almost unheard of for New England. So how do you protect yourself?

First of all you need to be aware that the ground is currently acting like a sponge that has been over soaked with water. What this means is that the ground is so wet that any more water will be incapable of soaking in and will run off creating massive floods and possible mudslides which we did see in the last major flood we had back in August. Bodies of water, even small ones, will slowly reach their banks as the excessive water searches for a place to call home. As the water will find no place to go it will naturally back into yards, roadways and, worse of all, homes.
