Merrimack River
State Police air wing activated when great white shark shows up at mouth of Merrimack River
By adamg - 7/23/10 - 11:13 amMust've violated parole. Channel 7, of course, sent its own helicopter, and you can watch the hunt for the poor thing live (wouldn't it be awesome if the shark jumped out of the water and bit one of the copters?)
UPDATE: Channel 4 ruins our fun by reporting at 12:39 that while, yes, the State Police helicopter is frantically zooming around the mouth of the Merrimack it has, in point of fact, yet to actually find a shark. Chief Brody is unavailable for comment.

She reports:
... Well, the Merrimack River is swollen like a hungry tick, ready to burst. The banks are barely holding her back in places. At many locations she's spilling over like a fat chick in a too small dress. ...

... We left (work) early due to the flooding, evacuations, and landslides in Lowell. We were concerned about getting over the Merrimack. We made it safely home. ...
