Crap. #Vermont images show warnings from US Army Corps of Engineers that Ball Mountain Dam and Townsend Dam are going to release unprecedented amounts of water ans folks downstream should consiser evacuating.
1/2 The USGS maintains a system of flood gauges to, among other things, help forecast flood risk. Today's #NorEaster brings heavy rains on top of early snow into #NewEngland. The Black River in #Vermont has only one flood gauge (NOVS1) in North Springfield, far downstream where flooding has now closed Rt 100 and Rt 103 in Ludlow where last summer's big storm caused millions in damage.
The "new normal" doesn't mean we should become resigned to floods and extremed heat. The new normal means we need to act like we're in a climate emergency every single day.
Not good. This is the main stem of the Winooski. Since records here began in 1912, it’s only gotten to this volume (15,600 cfs) 3 times, most recently 1936. We’re 1000 cfs and over 1 ft higher than 2011 (Irene).
Y’all. Tonight was INCREDIBLE. I have so much to say about the whole experience, but it’s after 3am and my body is like “can we sleep now?” so I’m gonna go ahead and listen to her and write tomorrow about the dream that was our night at The Colonial Theatre in #Phoenixville. SO MUCH LOVE to everyone there tonight. We love you so much. 🖤🖤🖤
Missisquoi River almost flooding, July 12, 2023. Major flood impacts were in the 2 watersheds south of the Missisquoi, but the water was still impressively high and turbid here as we passed by. #52LakeChamplain#Vermont#flood#flooding#floods
Living in the East Coast?
Love live music and supporting artists?
I may be able to perform a live set with my piano at your event. It would be a 45 minutes set combining of all of my songs on #Bandcamp and many yet to be released. You can invite your friends and family, I'm also down to help out with making vegan foods and make a day of it. I'll be flying to Boston often and often be in Maine as well. Contact me if interested😊

We don't get much of a Fall here in Florida. But when we do get it, we get it in Winter...LOL We have two maples right outside my studio window. High was 68 today...that's about as Autumn as it gets here!
I looked into the heart of the sun. I saw a 360 degree sunset. I saw the mountains of the moon. I saw stars during the day and Venus shining beside the sun and the moon.
A few moments before totality everything got still. The mourning doves and insects went quiet. The light wasn’t like a sunset, it didn’t have that angle to it. It was just grey and ghostly. The high clouds made the light very white and grey, making you feel like you were in a shadow world. #Eclipse#Vermont#Eclipse2024 1/2
I can barely explain what I experienced during totality. It was far more emotional that I realized to stand in the shadow of the moon and stare up like that, looking at the sun. I wandered around in a daze, looking at everything.
Afterwards I felt hungover, confused. I still do.
I’ve read about how people say total solar eclipses are life altering. I never knew why.
