NORTH WOODSTOCK, N.H. — A New Hampshire couple is suing their popular, icy neighbor — for dumping 16 inches of water in their basement. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Kelly Trinkle, standing amid an arsenal of photos and videos to support her contention.

“Apparently they think it’s just fine to flood your new neighbors,” she said, “and not take any responsibility.”

She’s talking about last April, when roughly 35,000 gallons of water gushed into the basement of the home where she grew up in North Woodstock, New Hampshire. So much, she called 911, and firefighters arrived to dig protective trenches around the house.
