Vermont Flooding

Anyone affected by the flooding? My town luckily didn't get the major flooding....just a tornado dropping down in a couple spots and almost daily rain...

All good here. The bottom of the hill was flooded in Milton on Rt 7 - they all had flooded basements for sure

Not too bad here, although it was raining for about a week.

I think it is safe to say the drought is over.

Not sure which I prefer. I lived in New Mexico before I came to Vermont, and it was no fun. Wildfires galore, there was a big one last year which burned 350,000 acres.

I lived in Phoenix as a native fish biologist for a year as well as southern Utah on Lake Powell.

Too hot and dry, but I don't remember any mosquitos.

I think the forecast for my area over the weekend was all sun, but yesterday there was a little thunder shower...barely made the ground wet. Had something similar today.
