Newmarket Resident Recovers From Flooded Childhood Home
Elizabeth Kenny notes widespread damage as Lamprey River flooding displaces about 1,000 residents. Philip LePage, returning to 15 Exeter St. in Newmarket, estimates 2.5 feet of water on the first floor will require months and about 70,000 dollars to repair, altering a 19th century home he grew up in. Fire officials caution on total costs while awaiting evaluations of statewide damage including Cape Neddick, Maine, and Massachusetts reports. Some displaced are University of New Hampshire students amid finals as power remains cut to many homes. Page A6 Recovery details on A10.
