Climate Change?

(from Weather Underground)

Saddle Hill is shown as the circle with crosshairs near Laconia right in the middle.

This is the killer storm that sat right over us Thursday night-it just barely skipped to my north, and I only got 0.40" of rain. 6 miles to my north, it was another story.

Ashland received 4 inches of rain in 35 minutes, and a 7 year old girl in an SUV was swept away by a flash flood and drowned at Ames Brook Campground, which is on the Ashland-New Hampton town line. Many Ashland residents were trapped in their houses.

This storm was only moving at a speed of 2 miles per hour, which explains the heavy rain.
