The Androscoggin River rages over its lower falls beyond Morse Bridge in the background on Friday afternoon in Rumford. According to the National Weather Service in Gray, the river was 2.5 feet below its 15-foot-high flood stage at 7 a.m. at Pennacook Falls Dam in Rumford. Heavy rains, warm temperatures and snow melt caused the high water.
Heavy rains, warm temperatures and melting snow forced dam operators along the Androscoggin River in New Hampshire and Maine to release large volumes of water on Thursday and Friday, causing the river to spill out of its channel and onto floodplains like this field in Dixfield beside Route 2 on Friday morning.
