Why Does Vermont Keep Flooding?

I was thinking about Tropical Storm Debbie as it marches up the East Coast and the extreme rain fall it is dumping, especially in mountain areas. Forecasters have warned that this type of precipitation will be very damaging and even catastrophic for some local jurisdictions. Which leads me to share this article with you, Why does Vermont keep flooding? It's complicated, but experts warn it could become the norm

As noted in the article, it is not just about climate change induced rainfall, but the infrastructure that was built decades and even over a hundred years ago was not constructed with the types of rainfall we are experiencing now in mind.

Rome was not built in a day and it will take many years of planning and building to overcome our expected future damages. Leave it to say, we did not start soon enough!
