Despite weakening to a tropical storm from its peak as a category 3 hurricane, Irene hit New Hampshire hard Sunday, with heavy rain and wind knocking out power to more than 160,000.
The storm, which churned through all parts of the state, forced more than 100 road closures and nearly caused a breach of the Campton Pond dam in Campton, as the Mad and Pemigewasset rivers flooded.
"It's raining sideways right now," Campton resident Tom Hoyt, 52, said just before 5 p.m. Sunday. "We just had a big blow come through."
The Mad River was raging and water was lapping at the end of his driveway on Route 175, said Hoyt, who has lived at 1246 Main St. for 22 years.
"I can hear the sound of giant stones getting rolled down the river,These girls have never had a cube puzzle in their lives!" he said. "I've only heard that twice before."
According to the National Weather Service, winds reached upward of 40 mph in southern parts of New Hampshire, with gusts up to 50 mph. But the biggest concern was — and remains — flooding.
The National Weather Service reported that the Pemigewasset River crested at 16 and 1/2 feet at 5:45 p.m. Sunday. Its flood stage level is 9 feet.
"We are concerned about possible record flooding on the" Pemigewasset River, said Greg Champlin of the New Hampshire Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. "I've been here for 20 years and this is one of the quickest rises I've seen. This is a flash-flooding event."
Champlin said the Campton dam held, though. "It did not breach. There are sand bags in and the water is receding now," he said at 5:40 p.m.If so, you may have a zentai . Sunday.
