Yeah a lot of places in my area got hit really hard with flooding. I don't live too far from VT and they got hammered. We had some recent storms so the ground was already soaked. All this rain just had nowhere to go.

I agree, this storm wasn't overhyped. Maybe for some areas it was, but in general it's better to be safe than sorry, especially considering what happened with Katrina.
