Other then some showers tonight---the rain is pretty much over. In fact after tonight--we are no suppose to get any mre rain until saturday. This i good news--because surely even that last river that needs to be receeded--should have plenty of time to get back o normal levels by then. Now we get into the clean up stages. And if u been reading or seeing the news--u know thee is a lot of clean ups to be done.<br />

An update on my friends--They will be buying a house in CT. They didn't have flood insurance--but they will claim the liability insurance. The rest of the money they need for the new home will come from a 1 or 2% Goverment loan. They thank God for small favors--however they feel a little robbed since they just finished paying off the mortgage of thier destroyed home this past summer and were expecting to really startr saving for retirements! Also he kids at first were kind of upset about having to move to CT because they will have to leave thier school for which they claim they know every kid who attends that school. But the dad manage to arrage with the school for the kids to finish out this year over there. The kids didn't stay too dissaponted after that...especially when thy found out that they will be gtting bigger bedrooms of thier own! Doesn't take much to plese a child--huh?

The 9 mile ride to URI on RT138 from RT95 on Saturday was OK, the road was clear no slow downs etc. I did see a few driveway aprons that were washed away, with 1' - 2' ruts, a lot of standing water on the golf courses that I passed as well as standing water on a lot of front yards.

It looks like we survived the night! Other then one (that I know of) heavy storm, there wasn't really much strength in the overnight down falls. All of the rivers are holding steady as of right now. We are not suppose to be getting any rain today---however you wouldn't believe that if you were looking at our skies right now. The next time it is suppose to rain is sometime tomorrow afternoon, and it will go to late Monday or early Tuesday. But at least for now we are getting at least a 24 hours…

But at least for now we are getting at least a 24 hours plus some more reprieve from the rain. So maybe--just maybe that will be ample time for all of the rivers to receed back to thier appropiate levels. Damn dam...

I am not exactly sure how you are going to get in Kingston from your way--since the Pacatuck/Westerly bridge is indefinitely out, and it is looking like I 78 is going to be out for a little bit. You may have to do what people been doing to get to Providence--and that is getting I 95 to RT 4--but instead of going to providence--u would have to cut back to Narrangansett--which gets you back to RT 1 and thrfore into Kingstown. It is definitely the scenic route--but u might not have any…

Thanks for the road report HAH... I won't be going to Westerly any time soon, I figure its best to stay away, but I will be going to Kingston tomorrow.... college visit.<br />
<br />
maybe we get a wind out of the northwest and it blows the rain out into the Atlantic???<br />
<br />

Honestly--I don't know which report to follow anymore. While all of the weather reporing all agrees that this area is once again under flash food watch, (and in some areas--mine included--already to the point where flood level warnings are being reached again), there is descrencies s to how much more of this we are suppose to get overthe next few days.

One weather report have some severe storms coming in tonight--then tomorrow we get a reprieve--and then it will start all over again late Sunday afternoon, and go into Monday evening, Tuesday morning. Others reports are saying it will rain straight through Tuesday before it is all over with.<br />
I am kind of hopeing we will get a repreive tomorrow simply because of the fact that the latest report shows that the only river that didn't hav enough time to receed is the one that flooded my backyard and basement because of the dam breakng. While I don't have anything devastating yet--I can see signs of my backyard getting filled in!! It is not filling in as fast as last week, simply becase the dam area have since been filled in--And folks--that is significant--because he dam was a 20 feet drop when it was intact!!! So Thank God for small favors--huh?<br />
<br />
Oh by th way--Z? If you want o go into westrly by any chance--don't take 78 tonight. Turn on the local news---u will see why!!! GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
