My old hometown got flooded

[Zak]

We lived in Montpelier, VT before moving to Washington. This silent drone video of the flooding there two days ago makes me sad for the homes and businesses that must be full of mud and silt.

Ouch! I feel bad for those folks.

Zak - as you know, my kid will be headed to your alma mater in two weeks. I had pushed her to get a place in Montpelier but she ended up in Lebanon. Glad she didn't take my advice!

That has to be a bummer seeing places you know we’ll get flooded like that.
Hopefully everyone is ok and they can begin the rebuild process soon.

Looks like unprecedented flooding. I was following the story of Appalachian Trail hikers. The trail crosses a creek that was nearly dry a few days ago, and hikers were sitting on large rocks on a mid-creek gravel bar eating lunch. Four days later that same creek was a flooded raging river that couldn't be crossed. Lots of hikers taking a forced break in their trips with campsites turned into knee-deep mud. I think much of Vermont has been declared a disaster area. I'm not sure about New Hampshire and Maine. I wish the affected people the best of luck as they begin to dry out and clean up the aftermath of the flooding.

My birthplace and home town albeit many years ago. In fact my brother still lives there and just returned from our sojourn to Norway in time to find, luckily, minimal damage to his house. And it is painful to see familiar landmark buildings downtown partially under water.

My daughter is in Vermont for a couple months now…the flooding in her area was pretty bad, but the water is subsiding…

There are some nice parts of Lebanon, NH and she will be glad of the resources that nearby Dartmouth College/Hanover offer.

Yep, flooding is sad.
I lived in Ashland, OR many years ago and late one winter where was a warming trend and Ashland creek flooded.
I could not get into my favorite tavern for my breakfast beer.
Boy, were those the days
