HAVERHILL, Mass., May 16 — Dave and Karyn Mennier's plans for a wild backyard Memorial Day party have literally been sunk by the Merrimack River.

The normally placid river, whose banks lie 150 feet from the Menniers' back door here, has swallowed up the entire yard, washing away a volleyball net, a sand pit and a wire fence, submerging a swing set and a three-foot concrete wall and spilling into the family's above-ground pool in the worst flooding in New England in 70 years.
