Deluge: New Hampshire Recovers
As New Hampshire begins drying out from recent record floods and taking stock of damaged homes, businesses, roads, and agricultural plantings, public officials have issued a number of flood-related warnings and information bulletins.
Over a week after the flooding, many people whose homes were damaged
have not yet been allowed to return and survey the damage. In the Goffstown
area, about 50 families were evacuated and still haven't returned to
assess and start cleaning up. State and federal health and emergency
officials are working hard to provide information.
