Parts of New England have had over 15 inches of rain and they have had very serious flooding up there. Eastern Mass., most of New Hampshiere, and extreme southern Maine has been hit the worse with this flooding.

There's also possibly some snow melt that they had to deal with, though it may have been a little late for that. Also, the Northeast corridor of the US has been running a deficit in the rainfall department. It was just too much rain in a rather short period of time. We're talking about 4 - 5 months worth of rain in a week.

There is one place up in Northeast Mass., think its Amesbury, that got almost 20 inches, and that has broken the all time record for the month of May for any location. Believe the location that this happened at was a COOP observation location. The average rainfall up in this area, I believe is in the 40 inch rain...so this would bring almost half of areas yearly rainfall. Here is a full thread on the flooding up there: http://www.storm2k.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=84351
