    Good amount of debris on the roads, in my yard and a few good-sized branches down on my way home.  Sub-severe wind but looked like what up to 40mph gusts will do to leafed out trees.

    MVL recorded a couple 38mph gusts and that sounds about right here too, with 50-65mph up on ridges.

    Coworker and friend sent this from top of the Quad looking due south as the shelf cloud squeezed through the gaps and over the Spine.

    Storm near Montpelier looks nasty.

    .70 today and the .17 yesterday  brings up over 8 inches on the month.  8.78 so far in August after 15.08 in July and 8.46 in June. (32.32 in less than 3 months)

     

    With 23.86 since the start of July, it means I have averaged 1/2 inch per day for 6 weeks now.

    That’s insane.

    3.37” in August here and 23” same time frame.

    The persistent SSE low level wind flow ahead of these systems has really favored the SE sides of the general terrain uplift.  You guys in eastern VT really did very well.  Convective precip loves the hills/topography in eastern VT coming out of the CT River Valley.  ORH Hills and Berkshires too.

    Close call for Amtrak in VT last night:

    According to Laura Harbert Allen, a West Virginia journalist, three of her family members were evacuated Thursday night from a northbound Amtrak train between Rutland and Middlebury. Some train cars were flooded with multiple feet of water, she said. Passengers were eventually removed from the train at a road crossing near Leicester and Whiting and bused to their destinations. 

    Bradley Holt, who was on board Amtrak’s Ethan Allen Express, wrote on LinkedIn that he was in the front car when the train hit a washout just south of Middlebury. 

    “Fortunately we were going slowly due to concerns about water on the tracks,” he wrote. “I don’t know if we derailed or not, but it seemed like we may have based on what I felt and saw.”

    ...

    Jen Flanagan, an Amtrak spokesperson, wrote in an email Friday morning, “Due to heavy rainfall and a flash flood warning in effect yesterday evening, customers traveling on Train 291 were provided with alternate bus transportation to their final destinations from Leicester, Vermont.”

    Flanagan said the train was running normally again Friday and had left Burlington around 10 a.m.
