  1. 1.6” so far today. Just light rain right now. Oddly, the way this summer has been, 1.6” in a few hours doesn’t even seem like a lot.
  2. Looks like Litchfield County in CT is out of the woods right now. Majority of the heavy rain looks like it’s going to train along the far eastern slope of the Berkshires through the CRV in MA. Secondary max maybe in Worcester Co?
  3. My sister is on route 27 in Chelmsford and she said there hasn’t been any thunder nor even a breeze.
  4. Just grabbed another quarter inch of water in about 15 minutes. So we’ve got that going on.
  5. Some of the East Quabbin hill towns and out through Gardner and Leominster got some significant rainfall.
  6. Picture from a friend of mine in S VT of tonight’s storms moving in. The photo is from Marlboro VT.
  7. Streams and rivers were still high here today and then we dumped another 1" quickly tonight. I assume sections of VT saw similar rain tonight?
  8. 1-1.5" in NW MA tonight with some flash flooding. Nothing outrageous but rivers will be running high again tomorrow. I imagine CT River will remain at minor flood stage through tomorrow night.
  9. Wind was minimal here but impressive light show and very heavy rain. 1.25"
  10. Big line of cells coming. Sky to my west is black, continues thunder and lightning in the distance.
  11. Vernon Dam. That’s an impressive structure. You can start canoe trips there and go all the way to Turners Falls. It’s a beautiful two day trip.
  12. Crazy. Water can be terrifying, I can’t even imagine it inundating your house. Furniture ruined, carpets ruined, cars, furnaces, septic systems all ruined. Sheet rock and plaster water logged and becoming a mold hazard. I wouldn’t be buying a used car from anywhere in Vermont anytime soon…
  13. The difference is, when it’s dry at least you have the option of watering some stuff. When it constantly rains you don’t have the option of “sunning” stuff.
  14. Brutal and all of that stuff, from hundreds of homes, needs to somehow be disposed of properly. My coworkers best friend lives in Waterbury and said everything in his neighborhood smelled like petroleum today.
  15. Did I mention it rains every day here? My tomato plants are getting stem rot.
  16. SundayMonday? The ground may never get a chance to dry out this summer…
  17. Didn’t even have chance of rain in the forecast today yet it is raining. We have had precipitation 10 out of the past 12 days.
  18. It is also a huge environmental disaster. There will be thousands of tons of waste and refuse that needs to be dealt with plus all of the toxins that were washed into the rivers and waterways and deposited elsewhere.
  19. I filmed this around noon time. Still wasn’t quite at peak flow. Watch until the end and you’ll see the power of the water coming through the open floodgates.
  20. On your way back park at the discovery center in Turners Falls and walk down to see the floodgates on the Dam. Pretty spectacular.
  21. Connecticut River below the Turners Falls Dam.
  22. At least we got three or four good days in!
