Flooding?

SIKSUKR · 05-15-2006, 10:31 AM

Pretty bad situation at my mill building on the Merrimack in Manchester.We spent most of the night trying to save what we could on the lower level.We have 5 feet of the Merrimack inside as I write this.The river is about 10 feet over flood stage.This would be the highest it's been since the great flood of 1936.I've lost both my elevators and about 8 hvac units,and I can't even imagine how much inventory.The sewage ejection pumps just installed 2 years ago($10,000) are probably junk,along with the sewage that is no doubt mixing in that mess right now.This will be a lot of fun and time to clean up,which will certainly cut into my Winni time.All that being said,everyone is safe,the structure of the building still seams intack and I still have power in the building so most of my tenants are fine.Its quite a site to see!!Be safe everyone!!

Downtown Dover is shut down. Kelly's Row restaurant which overlooks the Cocheco is under water and they are threatening to close this building down. Across the street where One Second Computer is they had to evacuate the building for fear that it might crumble. I took pictures this morning of my old house in Newmarket on the Lamprey, there is 4 feet of water+ in the house. Unbelievable! I have some great pictures but they might be too large to post, if anyone is interested in seeing them feel free to email me.

Codeman, I sent you a message. If you want, I'll resize them and post them for you.
