PETERBOROUGH, N.H. (AP) – A week after heavy flooding washed away homes and claimed several lives in New Hampshire, more rain wiped out numerous roads and flooded basements statewide on Saturday amid concerns of more floods.

“There’s water in the road, water in the basement, literally all over the state,” said Jim Van Dongen, spokesman for the state Emergency Management Office. The state got up to 3 inches of rain from the storm. But, “So far, it doesn’t look like we’re going to get another round of what we got last weekend.”

By Saturday night, the rain had spread from south to north and some roads were flooded in northern New Hampshire.

“This is a very different situation” from last week, Van Dongen said. “This is scattered problems, but they’re relatively minor.”

Residents were in a watch-and-wait situation. In Peterborough, near the rising Contoocook River, Mark Loll and his sons were at a bridge, looking at the water.

“Usually it’s a much lower waterfall,” Loll, 39, said. “This is an unusual amount of rain.”

However, neither he nor Noel Lafortune, a local butcher, seemed anxious about the rising water in the southwest New Hampshire town.

“McDowell Dam is one of the blessings that Peterborough has,” said Lafortune, 61. “I don’t feel as though we’re in any trouble downtown.”

In nearby Keene, about 1,300 residents who were evacuated on Friday night returned to their homes Saturday. In southeast New Hampshire, up to 80 people in a trailer park in Milford were evacuated for several hours Saturday morning. There was a voluntary evacuation in nearby Goffstown.

The bulk of the state remained under a flood warning through Saturday night, meaning flooding is imminent or has already happened. Besides the Contoocook, rivers being watched included the Souhegan, Merrimack and Piscataquog.

It was raining on and off in much of New Hampshire on Saturday afternoon. More rain was expected today, then expected to taper off on Monday.

Some towns were preparing for the worst. In central New Hampshire, the town of Henniker, which is near the Contoocook River, opened a school as a shelter. Officials said the river was at 10.5 feet Saturday morning and was expected to rise above flood stage – about 12 feet – Saturday afternoon. By this morning, the river was expected to reach 15 feet.

Farther North, local emergency crews used sandbags to shore up the Lakeport dam to prevent high waters in Lake Winnipesaukee from spilling into rivers downstream. It was the first time since 1984 that the dam had to be sandbagged said Bob Fay, of the state Department of Environmental Service.

Meanwhile, starting Sunday, the state planned to distribute free water-testing kits and urged New Hampshire residents whose wells may have been flooded to avoid drinking from them until they are checked for bacteria and nitrates. Well owners in Cheshire, Sullivan, Hillsborough and Merrimack counties whose property was flooded could pick up the kits.

For now, “there’s no knowledge of anyone in danger,” Gov. John Lynch said Saturday.

Flooding was minimal in Keene and no one was evacuated from nearby Alstead, which had suffered the most damage from last weekend’s floods. One section of Route 123, which had the most homes destroyed, was closed again Saturday because a mudslide took out about 500 feet of road.

In last week’s flooding, three people were killed and another four were believed dead. Their bodies have not been found.
