Rhode Island flood conditions


New England, and Rhode Island and Connecticut especially were inundated with 8 days of rain that was constant at times. The streams and rivers have been in flood stage for several days. Pools of water are standing in places that have not held water for many years. Among the places that show evidence of flooding is the Potter Hill dam in Hopkinton, Rhode Island. I have taken some pix of the area, and the dam in particular. Attached is one of those pictures. Normally, this dam has about 5 feet of dam wall showing. Today, there appeared to be less than 1 foot. I have never seen the Pawcatuck River this high.

Chas,
Enjoyed your Christmas letter, truer words were never spoken. You awakened a lot of old memories.
The presents we rec'd, like socks full of fruit and nuts. As for wrapped gifts,I always rec'd note books, pencils etc, for school. The best gift I think I ever rec'd were a pair of high cut boots, with a jack knife in the boot sheath.
Merry Christmas
Your friend Tom C
