Wet suit for the photographer as well. Get a politician and government involved in anything and they will 'bugger things up' as we say in Yorkshire. We get flooding on a regular basis not far from where I live very flat farm land. Everytime we have torrential rain the rivers overflow and homes get flooded. Local government actually gave permission for houses to be built on the flood planes and guess what happens when it rains! Great photo opportunnities, though!
There'll be somegreat water shots on your East Coast over the next24 hours for the brave (and fool-hardy) photographer!
Spent three hours shooting Aysgarth Falls in North Yorkshire, UK, just to get 1 shot. Waited for the light to change so I got various effects. One of the problems is burn out in highlights. Try bracketing as well and various filters including polarizing - you can try it in conjunction with your ND. Experiment and use a notebook - there's nothing like getting a super shot and forgetting how you did it!
1. Use a tripod. 2. Lowest ISO possible. 3. Shutter priority. Don't use your Nd filter at first.
Now select a series of slow shutter speeds starting with the slowest you have. Take a series of shots, gradually increasing your shutter speeds. Check your shots and see if there is one which blurrs the water enough for your liking. Then do the same using your filter. It's often taking numerous shots at various settings and see which one you like best. Make sure you have plenty of time and be prepared to use trial and error. Best of luck.

Put a tiny drop of WD40 on your finger, rub it on your flash gun mount - not on the camera and see if that works. If not, take both to a reliable camera shop - prefably one which is a main agent for your make of equipment. Best of luck!
