The amount of water Tropical Storm Bill dumped on this area was staggering. There was a ton of flash flooding and street flooding, but only in a few cases did area rivers -- some of which had flooded so badly back in May -- rise to create a problem. I expanded my previous flooding maps to the east -- where much of the heaviest rain had hit -- and picked out eight of the worst-looking trouble spots, This ran across six columns atop inside pages on Thursday and Friday. This was the latter version. By then, six of the eight had already crested. Three of the eight were expected to be back under flood stage by Saturday. That's turning out to be the case. June 19, 2015
