Another High Water Event
Well, with over 4" of rain from this storm system, the Blackstone River is high again, with levels approaching 11 feet, which is about 2 feet over flood stage. The levees are doing their job and keeping the City dry here in Woonsocket, but areas such as Whitinsville, MA and Lincoln and Cumberland, RI are probably experiencing some flooding conditions right now.
