2007 Nor' Easter'

Being a southern boy myself, I am the last person you want to explain what a "Nor' Easter'" is (yahoo it for yourself). What I can say is that it is a storm with a lot of wind with rain or snow, and in this case it was rain. The "Mother's Day Storm" of 2006 was much worst in comparison, but this storm claimed its fair share of victims. As far as fatalities, I only know of two in Maine (tried to cross a washed out road and was seept downstream). There were a lot of unhappy homeowners though.

Batt 4 was on duty when an audible was sent out for Batt 3 personel to return for manpower. 12 members came back in and staffed Rescue 1, and forestries 1, 4, & 5. along with Batt 3's BC

roaming arounf in a command vehicle.

A job well done by all who participated. A lot of basements were pumped out and more than 500 sandbags were placed around homes to help prevent water damage. For more pics from the storm you can go to www.wmur.com.
