I"ve only got a little water in my basement. But the lake that's 100yds behind my house has risen 5-6 feet. Lots of rivers are well beyond record flood stage. I'm relatively lucky because i'm on higher ground and 300 ft above sea level, but some towns got hit pretty dang hard.

So far here in fairfield ct we're fine....unless you were a house that lives right on a river or stream. Those houses are pretty much screwed.

I have water but managing. We had 6 months worth of rain this month. Broke records for a hundred years. We had record snows last month. Some of my neighbors have basements filled to ground level. One neighbor had their inground pool levitate out of the earth. Drive around the neighborhood and items from garages and basements line the curbs everywhere you look. Farms look like rectangular lakes. Salinity levels are so low fish are staying out of the bay system.

No worries about drought this year....

Yeah EZ- pretty crazy. I have family out east and have been in touch with them more lately. Why do adverse happenings bring that out?

Anyway, Cumberland RI is kinda ok. Sisters deck footings washed out, but yard is a pond. Nothing major.

Warwick RI area - BILs mother had 12 inches of water in the basement , firemen pumped it out and furnace was re-worked so it would run . Phew..

PVD area- Another relative- flooded basement, fully furnished. Now gonna be fully gutted.

North of Providence- BIL to be- chiseled a hole in his sisters basement floor to put in a sump pump so the 2-3 inches could be kept at bay so the mechanicals would survive

Nobody can get to work,( at least in a timely fashion) Businesses and schools in the area are closed, etc. Streets lines with damaged stuff, pumps running as far as the eye can see....

Westchester County, NY- Aunt and Uncle are fine, but trees are not. They are falling over from the saturated ground....

Luckily nothing life threatening for them, but others, not so much.
