The washout in this video is impressive: https://www.wcax.com/2023/07/12/dozens-vermont-roads-remain-closed/

My favorite part of the Governor's midday press conference was the guy who said they are still looking for the bridge that got washed out in Vershire. He then added that they are not going to put it back when they find it but they would like to find it anyway. (he was smiling as he added the second part)

The 12Z model runs are concerning for the next 5 days.

Tight end likely open on an out route.

Have they installed?

Vermont also has a massive housing shortage which will make it even harder on the displaced.

Is that the Richmond Park and Ride?

I forgot who is hosting the Maple Chugging contest this Friday. Is it you or MREAVES?

It has reopened https://www.vermontpublic.org/live-updates/vermont-experiencing-significant-flash-flooding#interstate-89-reopens-in-montpelier-area

from that article is an shot of Montpelier this morning:

I haven't even used fans yet. (granted if I used the window fan it would just suck in the constant rain or the smoke when it is not raining)

Thanks. Power was restored around 1am. I am thankful that my hassles are minor compared to what a lot of other folks have been dealing with.

Office is thankfully shut today as every road I would take to possibly take to get into Hyde Park is closed or blocked by other closed roads. We lost power beginning around 8:30. It looks like the waters in our back yard have receded. I no longer have a massive collection of waterfalls tearing through my raised beds. It will take a while for the big rivers to recede. Closest /Davis went offline with the power outage. At the time it had 4.30 on the day and 5.35 for the event. Next closest station had .15 after the power went out.

I think the issue is just north/ west of the exit. (where the red marker is. There is a stream that comes down from the North. This morning it was not that far below the northbound side. By midday, the NB side was down to one lane due to damage. They close at the exit to offload. But RTE 2 in that area has also been closed at times today.

One of those rare occasions where the video of that scene does not look as bad as the photo. Someone posted the video higher in the thread

No but their office is just a few buildings away.

Closed the office early. Found an alternate route home though the water was to the road in some spots. Home now. Back hill is just a series of waterfalls through my raised beds. 3.09 since midnight, 4.14 total, 14.83 since the start of June.

Got to the office in Hyde Park. Unsure if I will have to end up sleeping here. Looks like 100 in Waterbury will go under water near Ben and Jerrys if we get much more. Saw one spot in Middlesex where the water could come onto I89.

Huge downpour for about 10 minutes here in Hyde Park. Storms popping all over the area has meant thunder for the past hour or so..

and now , not as obvious, high ground

Even better
