Severe Weather ?

It's raining but not much, all the thunder boomers are south of us with the heavier rains. I think the grass that I mowed a few days ago grew a couple of inches already.

A few more small jobs that need to be done and then it will be either saw or splitter time.

 

Route 10 in Winchester from flash flooding yesterday (WeldrDave ). This system also came thru my area, but my town was at the very edge of it so didn't get the deluge that the western part of the state got

 

That's some serious damage, is that area in for more rain today?

 

Hopefully all the rains in and around Montpelier stays east of you. It would be nice if the heavier rains missed everyone but that isn't going to happen.

It rained pretty good when we came back from getting some groceries today. Tomorrow for supper the calorie intake will go up, some T-Bone steaks, salt potatoes and one apple pie.

I'll check the rain gauge tomorrow.

I own a rental property there; river is back property line… It’s a deluge in those hills

 

I'm not sure what our rain gauge was at this morning but I just checked it, just over an inch of rain so far, it's still coming down but nothing real heavy.

 

Vermont flooding: Possibly catastrophic flooding, rain possible


2 miles from apartment house I own is this bad news starts 2 minutes in … weather forecasters not where water is sent by residents

 

The sun just came out here.

Just from today. 2.5 inches

Vermont and other areas west of here got much more. Good luck to them!

 

We're safe from the heaviest rains but some areas in Vermont already received over 7 inches in 24 hours along with all the previous rains that Vermont has received.

 

My home where I am sitting with a drink in my hand is ok we have had over 4” of rain but all good..
Problem lies with the wet heavy clouds not making over the mountains and losing water weight to do it..

Capital of Montpelier 5 minutes ago

 

That sucks. It's great that your home is fine.

 

This was from just after 4 p.m. today so the totals are higher from what I saw on the news at 6.

 

Right on the edge of the worst of it here. Ludlow got hammered with 6” overnight while we got only 1”. The rest of this came during the afternoon. My road home from work was closed in 4 places. I looped around and was able to make it home at dusk, with the state highway still closed at my house. Quite a disaster for Ludlow and Londonderry, as well as others.

A dock upstream, with boats attached, broke free and lodged against the construction site

 

That is devastating floods, wish we could have had part of it. The drought is really bad in Missouri and Kansas.

 

Yep, got more rain yesterday. Had to open a some dams to keep from being overtopped (or damaged in some way). Town next door told people even close to the North branch river to prepare to, or to just go ahead and evacuate.. because a dam upstream might be in trouble. Several roads in my town got washed out and people are stranded - not because we got so much rain (we didn't get the 4-8" other areas got), but because of what was being drained from other high total areas. Still VT got hammered a lot worse - with our governor promising VT any help they need.
