It wasn’t Hurricane Florence or Harvey. We’re not the Carolinas or Houston. We did not get 30 or 40 inches of rain, over several days.
But the few inches that fell today — in a torrent, from 2 to 6 p.m. — caused havoc throughout town.
If you were out in it — on the jam-packed Post Road, or side streets that turned into raging rivers — you know what it was like.
If you stayed dry inside — and hopefully your basement is still okay — here’s what you missed.
