New England Soaked Saturday

Widespread moderate to heavy rain doused much of New England on Saturday, with particularly heavy amounts reported across New Hampshire, southern Vermont and east-central upstate New York.



There were plenty of observer comments from the region on Saturday, reporting everything from thuder to rainfall rates topping 1-inch per hour.

With the intense rainfall area waterways are running high so use caution if out and about in that part of the nation today.

One observer in New Hampshire filled the inner tube too fast and lost some rainfall on the table! Oh I have done that before -- it is just horrible!

The observer near Saratoga Springs, New York, reported such intense rainfall that he had to take an alternate route home making for a nearly 90 minute commute from Albany.

An observer in Vermont described the roar of a nearby brook as deafening at times during the heavy rain bands.
