Areal Flood Warning
Statement as of 7:40 PM EDT on September 6, 2008


The National Weather Service in Gray Maine has issued a

* Flood Warning for urban areas and small streams in...
Belknap County in central New Hampshire...
Strafford County in central New Hampshire...
Merrimack County in central New Hampshire...
York County in southwest Maine...
Rockingham County in southern New Hampshire...
southern Carroll County in northern New Hampshire...

* until 530 am EDT Sunday

* at 731 PM EDT National Weather Service radar showed a large area
of rain moving into southeastern New Hampshire and far southern
Maine. Expect rainfall rates of up to an inch an hour... with a
storm total of 3 to 5 inches expected across the warning area.

Through 730 PM... around 2 inches of rain has already fallen along
the border of Merrimack and Rockingham counties from Hooksett to
Pittsfield. Here... rainfall totals in excess of 5 inches are
possible.

Heavy rain will continue through this evening... gradually tapering
off during the early morning hours.

A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or has been reported.
However... all interested parties should take necessary precautions
immediately.

Most flood deaths occur in automobiles. Never drive your vehicle into
areas where the water covers the roadway. Flood waters are usually
deeper than they appear. Just one foot of flowing water is powerful
enough to sweep vehicles off the Road. When encountering flooded
roads make the smart choice... turn around... dont drown.

Please report high water to the National Weather Service by calling
toll free... 1-877-633-6772... when you can do so safely.
