Hats off to NWS/Burlington and NWS/Weather Prediction Center for flagging this dire situation (which is sadly unfolding just as predicted) more than 24 hours in advance. https://t.co/34XdvGha8M

Heavy rain and thunderstorms on the East Coast triggered flash floods, killing at least one person in New York state and resulting in thousands of flight cancellations #WSJWhatsNow https://t.co/06ZSo1r0jC pic.twitter.com/UpLUYtm61L

6.96 inches of rain has fallen at West Point Military Academy in southern New York state over the past 3 hours. Based on precipitation frequency estimates from Atlas-14, this would easily constitute a 1000-year flood event for the location. Incredible. #NYwx pic.twitter.com/qpXsPp4d4P

This is extremely strong wording from @NWSBurlington that explains the potential for a very serious #flood event (it applies for eastern New York and western New England, particularly Vermont). Catastrophic flooding can't be ruled out. This could be on par with Irene. #VTwx #NYwx pic.twitter.com/vIh3mJ36If

Hello, people? When you walk to the edge of a washed-out road, you don’t know how much is washed out from beneath the asphalt under your own feet.
