SPRING LAKE, New Jersey (AP) --

Toilets backed up with sewage, military trucks plowed through headlight-high

water to rescue people, and swans glided down the streets as rain fell for an eighth straight day around the

waterlogged Northeast on Friday.

Overflowing lakes and streams forced hundreds of people from

their homes in New Jersey and New Hampshire, and parts of New York and Connecticut also were under flood warnings.

Some spots have had more than a foot of rain since Oct. 7,

and 2 to 3 more inches of rain were expected in some places by Saturday.

Across the Northeast, at

least 10 people have died because of the downpours since last weekend,

and four others remain missing in New

Hampshire.

Acting New Jersey Gov. Richard J. Codey declared a statewide

state of emergency -- the first step toward applying for federal aid -- late

Friday afternoon.

In the shore town of Spring Lake, giant military vehicles

rolled in to help carry out hundreds of residents after an inlet flooded and a

pumping station overflowed, sending sewage into the water.
