New Hampshire Home Swept Up By River, Destroyed By Floodwaters

A home in Warren was destroyed Monday afternoon when most of it was swept into the Baker River by floodwaters. Tom Babbit shot a video of the home being carried down the Baker River and crashing into a bridge. “Unbelievable. It was pretty wild to watch a whole house float down the river and just get crunched into little pieces and they’re floating down the river,” Babbit said. The owner of the home, Lisa Slade, of Hudson, said it had been in her family for decades. “It’s devastating,” Slade said. “I know it’s only a summer home to people, but that’s our home. Like, we’ve been going there our entire lives, and to have that gone is just awful.”
