UPDATE: Heavy Rains Continue; Rivers Beginning To Spill Out Of There Banks

Update...
     A line of Strong Thunderstorms with very heavy rain continue moving east. There speed has slowed some which is not helping matters at all. Rainfall rates continue to be up to 1.5 inches per hour. A look at some river gauges across the region indicate that river flooding is about to occur or in some cases is already occuring. Some of the Main Stem rivers that will likely experience flooding are, The Missisquoi River in Eastern Franklin, and Western Orleans Counties, The Lamoille River in Lamoille County, and the Passumpsic River in Caledonia County. Latest river gauge readings are at least one hour old. And they indicate river levels anywhere from as much as 3 feet from flood stage to as little as a half a foot from flood stage, and they show that the rivers are continuing to rise rapidly. This is still from mainly the earlier rainfall. Things are expected to worsen significantly over night as more runoff rolls into these rivers. Stay tunned for further updates...
