BOSTON -- The search continued in southwestern New Hampshire Tuesday for three people missing in the aftermath of this weekend's flooding.

NewsCenter 5's Jack Harper reported that with more rain in the forecast, there are renewed concerns. Three people were confirmed dead, and a fourth is feared dead after the weekend flooding. In Alstead, N.H., officials are trying to come up with ways to get utility crews into the area.

"We expect to be able to restore service to most of the families in the area by the end of the week," Gov. John Lynch said.

Two people were killed when their car drove off a washed-out bridge into the Little Sugar River. They were identified as Steven Day of Unity, N.H., and Ashley Gate, of Claremont, N.H., both 20. The body of an unidentified man was found in a field by the Cold River in Langdon, N.H.

Also missing are Sally and Timothy Canfield. They were told to evacuate Saturday night but refused. Their house was swept away. Spencer Petty, 55, was also reported missing. He was last seen on the banks of the Cold River.

"Understand that what we are running into out there is some treacherous terrain from where the water has taken the roadway and the structures away. It's slippery. The (area) around the water is dangerous. The search teams are being careful. We have some island areas that we are trying to get to," New Hampshire Fish and Game Lt. Todd Dogardus said.

Some residents were lucky, and their homes were not damaged.

"Very lucky. We walked up and looked at some of the other places. We've seen the pictures of some of the ones down below, it's incredible," resident Jim Fowle said.

Meantime, one survivor recalled how she escaped the raging waters of the flood by climbing to higher ground. Jane Hutton lives near the Cold River, which overflowed its banks early Saturday when more than 10 inches of rain fell on parts of southwestern New Hampshire.

"It went on and on. The noise was awful -- the crashing of the trees," Hutton said. "There were people in the road who were actually telling us at that time that a large conduit under a road uphill from us had broken and that they expected a large amount of water to come our way."
