Recovery from Rhode Island flooding could take months

Floodwaters begin to recede in Rhode Island as residents survey damage. Officials say cost of flood damage believed to be millions of dollars. Pawtuxet River in Cranston, Rhode Island, is not likely to fall below flood stage until Sunday.

I think that flooding is a very bad thing that really cant be prevented there is only such much a community can do to keep the water level down. You can sand bag and prepare bulidings, house, and things to take on as much as possible. But in the end the water cannot be stopped, all we can do is wait out the storm and hope for the best. It is a bad thing to have experience because of the lack of control we have over it. It these hard times, the real inner person on people come out as they show their support for their friends, neighbors, and community.
