#vermontflooding — Public Fediverse posts

So, I noticed that #SuicideBasin #flooding is almost 1 year after it happened last year. The same with #VermontFlooding last month.

Nearly 8 1/2" of rain fell in St. Johnsbury on Monday night, in the course of 6 hours.

EIGHT AND A HALF INCHES. That's two months' worth of rain.

A bunch of comments on my friend's FB post about the floods: "They need to drudge (sic) the rivers!"

Sure, let's try to prevent flooding by making the rivers faster (and reducing biodiversity)!

One year after devastating floods hit #VT, a Vermont Public investigation reveals:

- FEMA spent $78.3M on administration vs $43M in individual assistance
- Survivors struggle with complex FEMA processes
- Local volunteer groups lack support for recovery efforts
- Vermont officials push for FEMA reforms

12 years since #Irene hit #Vermont.

This field is half a mile from my old apartment, part of a farm called Hurricane Flats. They lost their entire crop to floodwater contamination.

As with the #Floods this year, Vermont was so saturated with rainwater that there was nowhere for the new rain to go. #VermontFlooding

Some of my earlier posts on the flooding as it happened if you're curious.

The lack of a comprehensive national rainfall database and current flood maps hampers the ability to prepare for storms intensified by climate change.

#Montpelier #VT this afternoon. The water is slowly starting to recede. The smell is something else; a mix of sewage and heating oil. Fire alarms ringing in buildings cause an eerie atmosphere.

I was lucky during the flooding yesterday and other people were not as lucky. If you are in Vermont and need help, if you are in Vermont and can offer help, or if you want to help from a distance, this crowdsourced document is a pretty good place to start. #VermontFlooding #MutualAid #VTflood23

Every place I've lived in the past 15 years (aside from where I am now) has been cut off by flood waters in the last 24 hours.

Most still are.

Grateful we have sun instead of the rain that was predicted.

#Flood waters have risen further. The crosswalk you could see in my previous photos is now fully submerged.

⚡️ Relentless storms cause flooding in Vermont, leading to road washouts, trapped residents, and disrupted travel. Swift water rescue teams from various states assist with rescues. Flooding in the state capital, Montpelier, reaches downtown, with more rain expected. Rainfall exceeds 8 inches in some areas, prompting concerns for further precipitation. #FloodEmergency #VermontFlooding https://www.riskmap.com/incidents/1852944/articles/183600102/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Apparently the forecast is for 2 more feet before the Winooski peaks.
