Torrential Rain and flooding?

[taxid]

I've been hearing western Mass, NH, and Vermont are getting torrential rain and serious flooding. Also part of NY. Any reports?

Just the opposite out here in the Midwest. We are getting rain but not enough. Some of the thunderstorms that head our way fizzle out by the time they get over us.

I guess Montpelier VT is under water?




And West Point NY got 10 inches of rain in a short period of time?





It was on and off rain when I was on vacation in Mass a few weeks ago too.

You can keep track of the levels in the Ox Bow here. It looks like Rte. 5 will be blocked.

We are getting training T storms today in northern Indiana. Much welcome though and not as heavy as New England. At least so far.

We have had some rain but most of the heavy stuff and gone around us. We did get on real heavy down pour that lasted just over an hour. The lake has come up about 6" but is still about a foot below normal for this time of year. Most of the heavy rains have been to the NE and the South of here.....h2l

I guess most of our dams in NH really dodged a bullet the other day. Predictions were much worse than what happened, thank goodness. I went to look at the Contoocook River which is in my backyard and it was ripping like I've never seen it. Merrimack River is very high but doesn't look to be a major problem but more rain is on the way this weekend.

Scattered damage here in CT and NY.

Hi Jethro,
Looks like Hillsboro took a beating. The Contoocook at he Bridge to Nowhere is raging and Hillsboro Ford is on a narrow peninsula. High Tide made it to channel 9 this morning = its flooded again.
Over here in Weare, we did ok except for lots of dirt roads being washed out.
Compared to Vermont, we fared well.

Yeah, I saw that about the High Tide and Hillsborough Ford! Looks like the grounds got flooded but hopefully not the structures! I can't have the High Tide close, I haven't got my whole belly clam dinner from them yet this season!

I just got back from a 6 day road trip with my wife through Pennsylvania.

(It's good to be back).

It was a lot of fun, but alas, no fishing.

On the way down, we got caught in torrential rains that required us to detour twice to avoid flooding.

But, after Sunday, there wasn't too much in the way of rain in PA while we were there.

From the TV news accounts we watched, it looked like the Montpelier (VT) area got slammed the worst up here in New England.

I was in Montpelier 3 weeks ago with my wife for a weekend trip. Nice town, I feel bad for all the residents.

Wow those streams in the Berkshires must be boiling!  Does the water in western Mass end up in the Connecticut?

The Deerfield, the Westfield, the Millers and the Chicopee all flow into the Connecticut.

The Hoosic flows into the Hudson.

The Housatonic flows all the way into Atlantic.

There was a waste water spill of solid human waste material that worked its way into the Green, Deerfield and CT river system this past weekend.
It was directly related to the flooding rains they received in that area.
