More rain today.

Brownville, Maine ~ The weekend storm dumped about 8 inches of rain on Brownville in about six hours, with at least 6 inches coming in two or three hours. The heavy rains washed out roads, one was 5 feet deep and 20 to 30 feet wide, a motorist was killled when he drove into it. The rain fall was so severe it washed out the dirt from under railroad tracks and the tracks actually twisted. Freight had to be cancelled in that area until clean up crews can get in there and fix it. The Mayor is traveling there today to access the damage, it's been declared a State of Emergency/.
