Flood Control = worked
SIKSUKR,
I have spoken to several elderly people in the Northwest Hillsboro county area (while fishing on lakes in the area) and they have some amazing stories about the horrific floods back in 38 (must have been dreadful).
What I find most impressive is the engineering that took place following those floods. If it wasn't for some amazing flood control designs that collect water and divert it through a water level management system, the recent floods would have caused far more damage. The East side of Weare, East Dunbarton and the Village of Goffstown are on the down hill (receiving) end of the heavy water flow. The people in Goffstown suffered greatly during the receent rains and one can only imagine what the outcome would have been if the Clough Flood Control was not in place.
I don't know if you ever watched the Fritz Weatherby story about the floods in Hillsboro County = it's a sad story and amazing that people not only survived, but stayed to rebuild their communities.
