20 in Lebanon, N.H. Evacuated From Flash Flood Area

About 20 people have been moved to safety following flash flooding that washed out and damaged roads in Lebanon, N.H.

Governor Maggie Hassan says more than 2 inches of rain fell in the area between 3 and 4 p.m. Tuesday, on the heels of Monday night's flooding from heavy rains.

Tuesday's thunderstorm and flash flooding covered Slayton Hill Road with water and rocks, making it impassable.

The fire chief says 20 people were moved from a nearby apartment complex, and 15 others were re-located the night before.

He said about 20 roads were impassable Tuesday afternoon. An emergency shelter had been set up at the Lebanon High School for people stranded by the flood damage.
