Route 3A was so bad in Hooksett NH that the whole town was considered "closed" and every route in was blocked off by National Guard Soldiers.
You can pretty much tell from the pictures, New Hampshire is quite a mess right now. I had the opportunity to travel up and down the Merrimack today and everywhere from Manchester to Concord and beyond is spotted with floods.
The fortunate thing is that officials and everyone else did a wonderful job of keeping everyone on their toes and though damage will be pretty extensive, injury and loss of life will be minimal to none. So dont worry...we're all tough cookies up here, we'll pull through!
