Maybe I'll unbox the generator

For us, ask the people in upstate NY and Vermont what they thought about it being a mild trop.

Very good point. Vermont had flooding of epic proportions

My Uncle had sold his house and moved from VT back to RI in July. His just sold house was flooded out by the Battenkill a month later.

We'll likely not be in the heavy rain side of this storm - is that right Bill?

From what I've read it depends...but we're still going to get a lot of rain. It's a big storm that's going to spread and then camp out over us for a while.

Good thing is we're still down a bit on water levels so the system has more capacity.

I was up in VT just after the storm last year...they got pounded.

He was lucky, there was a house in Killington that was for sale and the closing was scheduled for that monday. No trace of the house was left.

Yes we did
I was fishing in NH that wknd and left early sunday am to come home. No problems on the way and I think I was home between 9 and 10am, straight to the couch for a nap. Kids woke me up a couple of hours later saying BHOP (Brandon House of Pizza) is in the middle of the street. No issues at my house as I live about 60 feet above a swamp in the Champlain Valley but I know many people who were stranded for a week and the effects are still ongoing in some towns. I don't want to see that again, and the biggest problem is many of the wiped out roads are in the rivers path at the bottom of valleys.

Two years ago, it was Earl and it went out to sea. This baby isn't going out to sea. It's coming ashore somewhere between Delmarva and Rhody.
