Vermont flooding destroys homes, washes out roads 

I often wonder who’s measuring because I’ve seen reports say 12 inches with 9 feet dirt lines left on the outside and inside of the houses! How does 12 inches ever leave 9 FOOT dirt ring around a house? Unless they aren’t telling us about rising water tables at the exact same time as the flood, which would cause many to question if it’s not global warming but rather God’s warning!!!

Speak, God is going to be especially rough on His supposed followers who did nothing to help protect His Creation.

@@speakthewordbiblestudy We live in between mountains in valleys. The rain was heavy over a wide area and funneled into the valles. Basic geography.

Yep! The cost of the climate crisis to homeowners, builders, insurance companies, bankers, farmers, etc. is already spectacular.

@@freeheeler09 True. And that’s why I don’t understand republicans. The cost to tackle climate change is nothing compared to the cost of the damage caused by climate change. So why are they dragging their feet?

Nothing natural about any of it. Geoengineering. Weather warfare. One town at a time.

@@dbadagna It is, but it has always had plenty of severe weather events. Due to it's latitude and topography, large amounts of rain,and snow melt,along with icing of waterways, it can be a challenging place to live at times. This has been the case for a lot of N.E. The push to put housing in areas unsuited for it,are magnifying it's effects on residents,even metro areas.

You kidding? It happened in Vermont just a couple of weeks ago...

Almost exactly a year ago VT was flooding too.

Yup. What would the residents of 1910 have to say about landscape, hardscape and building. Although calm, sensible, contemplative commentary is obviously not a thing anymore.

@@julieb7785 Actually,,, I may have a source to answer that. The Great Vermont Flood of November 3-4, 1927. I have a newspaper of the time, talking about the flooding in Waterbury, Vermont. Downstairs in my rolltop desk,, not sure where. But 50 years ago I read the entire article. If I remember aright, the flood waters in downtown Waterbury reached 26 feet above flood stage, the Winooski River flows through town. Sister and brother-in-law lived in Waterbury for about 20 years. I used to visit often. Bought the newspaper in a box of whatever for 50 cents at a country auction. The flood waters inundated the second floor of most or many of the homes. Survivors perched on the third floors or the roofs of the homes not swept away. Vermont is an interesting case. The flat lands, the valley bottoms, (percentage wise, Vermont has very few valley bottoms) Are ALL the result of beavers and beaver dams since the retreat of the ice sheets. Roads are in the valley bottoms along side the rivers,, normal, normal,,,, because,, those are the only flat places to build. Vermont is mostly vertical. Annnnd winter snows? Preclude roads and driveways up the hills. Now with modern hydraulics, both common and powerful,, some of that is changing. Even to this day, I know of roads that are completely impassable in the spring, "mud season". It is easy and accurate to say flatly, the Ohio and Mississippi flood plains should be strictly agricultural,, there should be zero houses along the river. All residences should be on the high ground. But Vermont? Much harder to do. The high ground is usually quite vertical.

so, by flood plain, do you mean halfway up a mountain and hundreds of feet above a river? because that's happening here. So if you put 8 inches of rain on already saturated soils and there's any contour to the land, that sleepy little brook that's dry most of the year becomes a torrent. surprisingly, water goes downhill. if you live anywhere between the top of the hill and the bottom, you're vulnerable. by your definition, everywhere is now a flood plain. do us a favor. don't live in the flood plain.

@@flaskehrlenmeyer4349 The flood plain has legal definition. That is usually the highest water expected in an average century. It is used by insurers, mortgage companies and the Federal goverment. There are maps available for the entire US. In short, no one should build in a flood plain, yet millions do,,, because the Feds with the insurance programs will help you rebuild in the same spot. Water front, river front properties used to be the cheapest land available and all the poor people lived in the bottom lands. The Feds got the program going to support all the poor people and in the near century following,, the river front, lake front ocean front became the most valuable properties, because the rich folks could get cheap insurance. It remains, bottom land should be allowed to flood and all be agricultural., so fields can receive the silt as nutrient, the water for spring planting, etc. Build your homes on high ground, your cities on high ground. Vermont is still a special case. The valleys of Vermont are usually small and narrow. I know of one house in Vermont that has been totally rebuilt 4 separate times,, and may now be due for a fifth rebuild. Really attractive to buy,, a nearly 200 year old Vermont home with a completely updated interior and exterior. Modern kitchen, new plumbing, new wiring, new, new, new,,, And mostly, because someone a few years ago HAD TO. Annual flood insurance premiums are skyrocketing, a thousand and even 2 thousand per month,, because,, people want to live on the shore. Fools. And we pay for it.

Anyone that gets a mortgage is going to find out pretty quick if they are in a flood zone because they will be required to have flood insurance. I lived in a flood zone and my house was on pilings as a result and the garage was required to have flood vents. My brother, on the other hand, lives in a concrete slab house that is not in a flood zone, yet his street has flooded twice. The flood last year was called a "100 year flood" based on the history in the area and then the exact same thing happened again this year.

It's called Geoengineering! The government completely controls the weather. Governments all over the world do this.

Star, good point. But I’ve been sitting in in statewide insurance meetings for the last year. Insurance executives say one of the reasons why insurance is so expensive, beyond the ever increasing damage and of course rebuilding costs, is that they cannot use historical data to model future coverage plans. Disasters are hitting where disasters didn’t used to hit, like Vermont.

“It’s called weather not climate change” is the most ignorant moronic baby-brained talking point that exists out there. You ignore all the context of the changes going on around us, in every environment, just to hardwave away something because you cannot personally cope with the reality that stands before us today

Flood zones mean nothing anymore. As someone in the insurance industry, millions are lost every year from surface runoff flooding. Flood maps don't account for changes in topography over the years and are only somewhat accurate for standard riverine flooding.

And fires. More weather refugees. Where will they all go?

Jeremy still lived there. He and Shani lost everything. Jeremy is also my son. He got his family out just minutes before the house was destroyed.

@@mgreeley5398 glad he is ok I work with him when he worked in Lisbon at the shoe shop at that time he asked for help getting to work so I’d drive from lunenburg pick him up n drive to Lisbon.

Your town has been destroyed #Z#Z#Z

😂😂😂😂😂

Geoengineering not climate change

Rain

Cloud seeding?

Yeah those glaciers are just prone to melt due to our carbon emissions. You are so right and so cold at the same time

@@dianavanderclute4322 geoengineering also

@@SnackBar762 And it's gonna be you who rebuild it & your descendants! What do ya think about that?

@@user-sd8hf6yg1i you and I both know that we are in the last days. Nothing really matters. We are all going to pass away eventually to live and pass away again. None of this matters man.

@@SnackBar762 Yeah we're are all in last days as you mentioned. But it does matter for the simple reason a great injustice was done & continue to happen to certain group of people in America & America refuse to address the wrongs I don't take delight in seeing anyone suffering regardless of their race. But America refuses to do the right thing & as result they're causing the people in Vermont & California etc with the wildfires because they refuse to do the right thing.
