    These are the NWS and USGS web sites for stream and river flows in Vermont.

    You can get to the other state's flows, too.

    Pics pics pics please!!! It's the only way we see water on the ground here in Phoenix. With Friday being 117 and this week forecasted to be in the low teens (duh, no news there), any pics of water is a good thing! I guess we do have dust storms here, so that is our contribution to the storm category.

    It actually does quite well. I put it up 3 years ago when we turned the garage into a family room. No issues from the storm. It held up well with all the snow we accumulated last winter. Only issue I've had is a branch went through the top last year and had to patch it. It's very warm inside, even in the winter so it doubles as the Hilton Hotel for mice though.....
    It is what it is, as long as you understand that you'll be satisfied with it.

    We lost power a second time yesterday morning and it finally came back on at 3:00am. The street looks like a tornado went down it. Branches, limbs and leaves every where. No water in the house and no trees on the house so that's what matters. My kids and I did our good deed yesterday. When the power went down we bailed out our elderly neighbor's sump hole. Her son was finally able to find a generator to power the pump but I'm a little sore.....might have to medicate with the rest of the hurricane survival kit this weekend.

    Quite curious to see how your tent holds up........

    I elected to take down the Costco tent housing my project....... the exposed frame (from firewall back is getting a natural powerwash.

    good luck.

    Well just lost power again so I'm on the windows phone. Had to charge this, this morning.
    Might have to break into my emergency survival kit as well. Hmmm
