CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - A hospital in northern New Hampshire reported flooding in and around the building, emergency officials said Tuesday, as the National Weather Service issued flood warnings in the area and in northeastern Vermont.
The state Emergency Operations Center reported flash flooding in the town of Woodsville, and in and around Cottage Hospital, WMUR-TV reported, canceling some surgeries. The waters have since receded; it wasn’t immediately known if there was any damage to the building.
Tuesday morning radar showed a line of strong thunderstorms moving across the region.
In New Hampshire, forecasters said the rain could flood streams, urban areas and other low-lying areas in parts of Carroll and Coos counties.
In Vermont, the forecasters said up to 3 inches of rain had already fallen in some areas of Essex and Caledonia counties, and flooding was underway.
Heavy thunderstorms are also forecast for western Maine, which also expected hail.
