This is nuts.  

Worst flooding since Irene, in fact might be worse in Stowe than Irene.  

Saw video from my wife’s coworker of RT 108 washed out at Topnotch.  You can’t get to the mountain from town.  

There is major flooding going on per BTV.  

Ice Cream man?

That's crazy what 4" can do, but yeah..already wet ground in high terrain falling in a matter of a few hours.

These are some of the most impressive numbers ive seen in a long time around these parts, certainly higher than any of the last few previous storms.

Tons of high water marks getting set up here.  This one drains from Jay Peak area.  

I think NVT got it worse than in Irene based on the water flows.

Wow that's pretty wild...especially that Bridgepoop one

Nearly legit TS conditions, temps/dews and all

Never live on a river floodplain.

Impressive storm yet still being downplayed by some. IDK why but the IMBY syndrome is prevalent even with Mets

Agreed.  The flooding event is coming sometime.  Whether it’s a 50 year or 100 year event, it’s coming for your house at some point.  

Everyone on a hill saw washed out roads, like this in Stowe:

But that’s not putting feet of water into your house.  

I’m with you, no thanks to this stuff. 

Richmond, VT.

Yeah man, this is a high end event.  3 main waterways up here have now exceeded Irene levels.  

I truly think that despite rainfall being 1-2” less than Irene (3-5” vs 4-6”), It came in a shorter period of time...and in August when Irene hit everything was green and growing.  Some moisture had to be sucked up by vegetation, or into the root systems. This was 100% runoff with dormant vegetation.

My FB feed is full of people trying to get out of certain towns.... sounds like a handful of towns are cut off from civilization just north of Stowe.

Damn. Thats brutal,  plus its been a very wet month. Incoming cold is gonna suck too for peeps. At least in Irene it was sunny and warm to dry out.

NH is slowly but surely turning VT into a lake one storm at a time.

If only Lake Champlain was another 25 miles wide and filled everything from the Dacks up to Mansfield.... upslope on crystal meth.  You can then fill in eastern VT for your lake effect snow.

CraY stuff. Glad you are all ok.
