WHDH-TV - Boston - Federal, state relief agencies assess flood damage

WHDH-TV - Boston - Federal, state relief agencies assess flood damage: "OWELL (AP) -- Residents and business owners in flood-striken parts of Massachusetts will be spending the weekend assessing the damage.

In one Lowell neighborhood yesterday, people were tossing damaged belonging into piles on the curb for the city to haul away.

Across hard-hit Middlesex and Essex counties, state and federal emergency management teams began tallying up the flood damage that's expected in the tens of millions of dollars.

The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency says based on a preliminary survey, the floods damaged about 14-thousand homes in 44 communities."
