Photos by D.Taylor. This first one is incredible to me. That's just so much water.
-
Just a damage photo dump from social media. M.Davison in Hardwick.
-
Wife snapped a couple. But it’s really just like one massive waterway/lake all along I-89 between the Greens. Just water filled in the whole valley.
-
That’s the two feet above record crest right there. Johnson is in bad shape. That’s a lot of food gone to waste too.
-
A friend in Waterbury had the Winooski River enter their basement. Luckily they are ok and that’s as high as it got. Holy crap that’s stressful.
-
Some additional media out there. RT 15 in Hardwick. Waterbury, VT
-
Tough driving on the interstate.
-
Someone was saying the problem with designing infrastructure for 100+ year events is when you start to get one of those events per decade.
-
Lamoille River at Jeffersonville (town that Smugglers Notch Ski Area is associated with) new record high crest.
-
Driving I-89 along the Winooski is absolutely mind blowing.
-
Took a break from watching Super Troopers to check out the flooding.
-
It's actually already down quite a bit. It is a very fast acting river draining all of Mansfield's east side, but as soon as the rain stops it flushes out pretty fast. It was actually highest yesterday morning during peak rain rates and then came back up yesterday evening during heavy rain. But as soon as rain rates drop the flow drops. It all flows into the Winooski in the end.
-
That's crazy. Only 0.15" here after midnight. I thought Stratus was over 6" yesterday evening but emptied came out at 5.89" for storm total.
-
I’m hearing I-89 might be messed up in both directions and closed for some time in that Montpelier to Waterbury stretch.
-
This event has brought travel to a true halt. It has restricted travel that humans in modern society are accustomed to… and that is what makes a weather event noteworthy.
-
Finally a break moving through. It’s just been steady moderate to heavy rain for 24 hours.
-
The general tenor of photos and observations coming out of Vermont in this event are definitely on the higher end of the scale for weather impacts. People are going to remember this one. Like the state remembers Irene. The model progs were largely correct depicting higher end event, especially from 48 hours out.

Montpelier is in big trouble. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CuiWbPBgzZ0/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Winooski River at Montpelier crest upgraded to 22.7 feet about 3 feet higher than the midday forecast. Thats also 3 feet higher than the Irene crest at #2 all time, record is the 1927 flood at 27 feet. This is going to be rough tonight for those communities along the Winooski… Montpelier, Waterbury, Richmond, etc.
-
Might not have to irrigate the lawn today? Maybe just the grass on top of the knoll?
-
At 6”, gonna clear it in this event.
-
The shots out of Barre are eye-opening too. I didn’t know they flood like that.
-
How much water does a Stratus hold total? The thing looks over half full.
-
Looks like we might get a little break to go walk around and check things out. It’s been steady pouring since 3:30pm. Just heavy rain, stations are around 1.50” in past 3 hours locally. Steady 1/2” per hour.
-
He’s above the Winooski enough I believe. RT 2 getting to his place might be another issue though.
