I am monitoring the river levels very nervously right now having been flooded by 100 year floods on the Merrimack the last two years.I have a mill building right on the river in Downtown Manchester and suffered heavy losses 2 years ago.This could be the 3rd 100 year flood in 3 years.Even with all the upstream flood control work done by the Army Corps of Engineers in the 1940's it was not enough to save property that has been existing since the 1800's.I have a friend still rebuilding his house from last years flood.There is potential for another catstrophic flood in this area.
Here is the National Weather Service hydraulic site I use for the Merrimack.It shows levels and trends.It forecasts my river to rise 1 1/2feet in 2 days.Other stations can be found on this site.Cross your fingers.
