Due to widespread flooding in New England, a dam in Taunton Massachusetts is at the breaking point. They are letting as much water pressure as they can off and are evacuating the residents. If that thing goes, it is going to be ugly. Too bad, Taunton appears to be a postcard-like place. Now I am back to watching soon-to-be Hurricane Wilma heading toward the gulf

Hopefully so; but remember, a major hurricane (cat 3 +)will reach out 250 miles or so in all directions. This is preditcted to strike on Saturday and should move northeast, away from the Bahamas.
