So, I noticed that #SuicideBasin #flooding is almost 1 year after it happened last year. The same with #VermontFlooding last month.
#VermontFlooding
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)!
😭
As advertised, a year to the day after what the weather service calls The Great Vermont Flood of 2023, the remains of deeply anomalous #HurricaneBeryl came up this way, found a mass of unusually supersaturated air, of course lots of extra heat in the warmest year ever, and then got squeezed out like a giant wet rag along an east-west line between two fronts converging across far upstate New York and northern Vermont. Details are just coming in but there are already lots of repeat customers for destroyed town and city centers, bridges and roads, fields and farms.

#VTwx #VermontFlood #VermontFlooding #ClimateDiary #CollapseDiary
Dear #ClimateDiary, the national weather service technical discussion is starting to ring alarms for rain-driven flooding later this week in northern Vermont from the remains of #HurricaneBeryl, a year to the day after historic “100-year” floods did major and still not entirely repaired damage in this area (including wrecking nearly every major town center in the county that tops a list of the most climate-safe in the U.S.) 🙃
“There are increasing indications that we could be seeing scattered if not numerous 4 to 6 inches totals, where convection or training of the moderate to heavy rainfall occurs, with isolated 6 to 8 inches amounts. Those numbers, if they do materialize, would be comparable to the flooding event we experienced almost exactly a year ago.”
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.

@jasonchaas pretty sure I saw that same cloud line from a different angle. #vermont #vermontflooding

The #VTFlood23 hashtag seems to maybe be the one we've settled on for the Vermont floods?
Here's a great crowdsourced resource for anyone in need of or looking to offer assistance: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZqJUO2ThkSebFryKL1UXuefQQM2LNs4A-NQ73go2KFw/edit
I'm also going to put in another plug for the Stratton Foundation and their incredible work, especially in the hard-hit West River Valley: https://strattonfoundation.kindful.com/?campaign=1263758

White cell count is normal. So no infection. Liver enzymes are little wacky and a couple others are off. Doctor chocked it up not eating and drinking enough fluids. Lyme came back negative there’s two more they have look at to confirm negative Lyme. #jamestee #ubergoober #vermont #VermontFlooding
