The NE is starting to look like NOLA. I'm on the eastern most edge of the rain band, and have still gotten more than 4" in the last 7 days.

I live on Long Island and work in the NY-NJ metro area and I can't recall nor can I find anyone who recalls this much rain. The rain fell hard and CONTINUOSLY for four days.

I did one job out of a possible eight on monday and haven't even bothered to roll my truck since. I hope to heck the water drains fast.

Here in NW NJ we've received over 14" of rain in the past 8 days. Luckily we are high & dry.

Dang. We were going to have a friend deepen the brook through a swampy area, to help drain the water away from our back driveway, but he was missing a part on his grapple, and had to put it off. Now it's so wet the whole tractor would sink into the abyss if he tried it.

We only just finished replacing the foundations under a barn that was tipping over into the mud. Now comes the acid test. Will the new curtain drains work?

It's not NOLA in Vermont, but it's getting pretty wet.
