Rhode Island and other pats of the Northeast have been hit hard by steady rain falls that have caused severe flooding in these areas of the U.S. Rhode Islands Gov. said "looking at the positives the water is starting to recede". No fatalities have been caused by the flooding in Rhode Island but there have been some bad accidents caused by the flood. It shows that the citizens are very resilient and respectful of how much damage water can truly do to cars and houses in flood conditions. The rain finally let up today. In the capital city Providence, nearly 8.75 inches of rain have accumulated from the major storm.My sympathies go out to all the families that have been effected by these flood waters. I have seen first hand the damage that can be done by massive amounts of water. There is sometimes no way to leave the flood waters so you just have to stay in one place and watch the flood waters destroy everything in it's path. I am pleasantly surprised that there have been no fatalities reported from this flood. Normally you get people that just dont respect the power of the flood, but in this case it look like everyone has been very smart and are staying away from the rapidly flowing high waters.
