QUOTES:

"CONCORD, N.H. - Seven people were saved over the weekend in three separate
rescues on rain-swollen New Hampshire rivers, as torrential downpours
flooded some homes and businesses.

In the southwest part of the state, rain washed out a section of a major
north-sound road for the second time in a week the latest instance of
flooding after heavy rains soaked much of the East Coast.

In Westmoreland, about 50 miles southwest of Concord, water flowed into
businesses and homes and some people evacuated.

Rich Provencher, who was visiting his mother, said he saw 8-foot chunks of
tar ripped from the edge of the flooded Route 12 and washed away. The
street looked "like the Amazon," he said.

The heaviest rain Sunday came in Florida and in North Carolina, where a
rain-swollen river swept away a 92-year-old covered bridge on Sunday, one
of two left in the state. Some roads were flooded and dozens of people were
voluntarily evacuated in the eastern part of the state."
