A little bit of rain? No problem.
A whole lot of rain in a short timespan? Now we are having some major issues.
New England residents are in the middle of a deluge that dropped more than a foot of rain in several areas, and they are facing those major issues currently.
Among those things: overflowing and cresting dams, water-filled basements, and water that has surged over many residents' rooftops.
Is it time to start collecting 2 of every animal yet?
Storm-weary New England residents waded out into a fifth day of rain Tuesday as the region's dams kept a tenuous hold against cresting rivers and evacuees wondered what remained of their homes after water filled their basements and surged over some rooftops.
Across northeastern Massachusetts, thousands of people fled submerged neighborhoods during the region's worst flooding in nearly 70 years. More than a foot of rain fell during the weekend in some areas.
"It seemed almost Biblical," Gov. Mitt Romney said Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning America." "We're sort of making jokes about Noah and taking two of each kind of animal because we haven't ever seen rain like this."
