By Holly Yan and Jennifer Henderson | CNN Massachusetts cities devastated by floodwater could face new perils as more rain is on the way and officials wonder whether a 'very sensitive' dam will hold up. The state has seen 'catastrophic flooding' since Monday, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said Tuesday from North Attleborough. About a dozen homes in the town were completely under water Tuesday, said Chris Coleman, North Attleborough's fire and emergency management chief. And about 200 homes were damaged in and around North Attleborough after a storm Monday quickly dumped about 5 inches of rain on ground already saturated from a weekend storm, officials said.
