We’ve had 10 inches of rain in the last 48 hours here in Carlisle, MA. Roads are covered and blocked off, bridges are out. There’s a state of emergency in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, especially in Middlesex county, where we live.
Our basement is flooded, which temporarily put Ampersand and Steve’s Tech Journal out of business while I put furniture up on blocks. We’re back in operation today, but they are expecting more rain so we’ll have to watch the situation carefully.
We took a walk yesterday into Great Brook State Park and snapped a couple pictures at the entrance. You can click through into my flickr photostream for a few more.
UPDATE: sorry to rss subscribers that I had to go edit this. I had been using a larger image size for one photo, which turns out to mess up the html formatting under IE (but not firefox). I finally tracked it down and fixed it, and also used the proper flickr html ref code so that you can click through on the pictures. Since you’re here reading this, I’ll also tell you that the basement is dried out and everything is fine, but we are going to invest in a perimter drain and sump pump system — ka ching
