The flood was a result of a sudden storm that produced at least 7 inches of rain in a 30-hour period. The streamflows, which were swollen by the surge of water from Warren Brook, exceeded a 500­ year recurrence interval. A recurrence interval is based on the probability that the given event will be equaled or exceeded in any given year, thus the year being 500 meant the amount of rain was extremely uncommon. The storm created major property damage in Alstead, Langdon, and Walpole, New Hampshire along Cold River and Warren Brook
