Yep, I'm in Lowell, one of the hardest hit cities in Massachusetts. To narrow it down, I'm in one of the two sections (out of six) of the city that got it the worst, because we are right on the Merrimack River.
Luckily, my house is on a decent hill, so we only got about 4-5'' of water in the basement to clean out. Can't say the same for a lot of the other people in the neighborhood.
(Note: Those two houses you see with higher ground all around them, everyone in the neighborhood was waiting to see when they would take the fall. Built in 04 by a sub-par contractor, it only took 18 months!)
Edit: whoops, forgot to add some more pics:
USCG Helicopter searching overhead for someone who had fallen in.
This used to be all grassy, with a public walkway. (The river bank USED to be near those little trees sticking out on the right.)
Other end of the street I showed in the earlier posting. (Guy in canoe!)

We had 8" in our basement a few years ago. The bad part is that it came up through the floor drains. Looked like chocolate milk. Yuuukkk.shaunakadub said:
wow, thats so stupid. houses should ALWAYS be built with the ground sloped down away from it for EXACTLY that reason....
