Here in the Champlain Valley of NY and Vt as well as much of the rest of the Northeast, we may not be getting tornados, but the incessant rain is beginning to flood a lot. We got 8 inches of rain here at my place last motnh and we are expecting inches more of rain the next few days. On top of the spring snowmelt, our local body of water, Lake Champlain is at all-time record level and rising. My sister lives on St Albans Bay Vt and they are flooded out of their home. Normally they are about 5 - 8 feet above water, they are flooded out. The basement is full and the roads are closed.
Here is a video of plowing driftwood off the road to their place a week before the worst of the rains. The lake has come up several feet since then and where the truck was driving is now under water. We have gotten almost an inch of rain since it began again in earnest about an hour ago. I swear I saw an Ark float by a few minutes ago...............
