Inland Flooding wise, looks like Vermont's got the worst of it, but still seems pretty bad. The dams in New England really can't cope with the amount of water that's been up there lately, and Irene's probably going to stress a few (or cause emergency releases). Places I've heard about: Wilmington, Vermont for example. Dams in danger I know of: Arlington Dam in VT, Gilboa Dam, near Albany NY. (Quite a few others unnamed also) Lots of rivers overflowing there banks.
Irene's going to be retired, but it looks like the flooding (mostly away from the major cities) is going to be the largest cause of damage. Some of that may get down to the Cities later, so the flooding may come later than anticipated.
