Those rainfall amounts are still hard to comprehend.  A quick 3-5.5" over a decent footprint... in an already extremely high water table and stressed waterways.  That's some tropical storm type rain and one can imagine 50-100 year flooding from it.

Just saw Mt Hope river is around 10.7', and 7' is flood stage. Higher than 1955, and highest since 1938. 

3’ above flood for that type of mellower topography is absolutely wild.  That’ll spread out into some surprising areas for folks who didn’t think it’s possible.  150% of flood stage.

Miller’s Falls in Franklin County, MA on CoCoRAHS coming in with 5.63” :lol:.

More rain in a day than we’ve had this whole summer by far up north.

Flooding in Eastford/Ashford area the worse since 1938;  that area clearly needs no more rain. 
 

I believe the Mt Hope River in Ashford flows down to Mansfield dam which I assume is getting pretty high.
