:chat:...First off prayers for those who may be in the Vermont flood zone. I hope you get to a safe place.

Here in Indiana we could use the rain. We are still short overall but we received about an inch last Saturday morning. This has been a very challenging season. Weather People are saying that we might have a dry summer. Currently we have clear sky and 60°F.

Today's high will be 84°F with sunshine.
Low of 62°F.

Stay Safe. ....:thumbup:

:pray:...I would like to send Prayers to everyone who may be in a 'Flood Zone'. I saw on the TV NEWS that NY is a mess. Praying for your Safety and Health.

Indiana Farmers are doing okay for the time being, but still needing more rain. Currently we have clear skies and 63°F.

Low of 68°F. No rain in the forecast for us.
My tomatoes are doing okay so far. Not sure when I will get my first tomato.

Stay Safe and enjoy your Ryde Times. ....:thumbup:
 
We have been on the "edge" of the extreme heat warnings. Sunday was actually "cold." We had 70, intermittent drizzle, and a cold clammy feeling to the air. Our "garage" cats actually wanted in and the door shut about 4:00 PM. They usually wait till about an hour before dark. The mid to high 90's are supposed to be back shortly though.
 
Wednesday 7/12/23

:coffee:....Still sending Prayers for those in the 'Flood Zones'. I just saw more videos from the areas. Not a pretty sight. Remember to keep to the high ground and don't mess around with the flood water.

Today in Indiana we have clear sky and currently 67°F. No rain in the forecast today.
News People are saying that we might get some rain late tonight or tomorrow morning.

Numbers for today are 88°F with sunshine.
Low at 68°F.

Stay Safe and Enjoy your Day. ....:thumbup:
 
Little Blue,

Thanks!!!! Please keep us in your prayers during this very stressful and devastating time. There are 2 cities that have started to "clean up"( 1 of the cities is the Capital which is Montpelier, and the other city is Barre which is only 13 miles away from the Capital) They have brought in extra water rescue crews from The Carolina's and FEMA is in the State and there are other resources here also. They have activated The Vermont National Guard. **** They are forecasting more Rain on Thursday and Friday, which we don't need!*** The Governor will be touring the state.

The current temp is 71 degrees, and sunny, NOT RAINING!

The places/states that need rain we can send you some!!!:roflblack:

:pray:...:pray:...:pray:..I hope you are safe and those that could be in the 'Flood Zones' are now in Safe Areas. Hopefully the rain will go somewhere else that needs it.

Be Safe and Stay Healthy. ....:thumbup:

Little Blue,

I am safe, I am not "Land Locked" yet. I am still able to travel on roads that are still open and are damaged. In my area there are 2 towns that are still under water. Rescue crews and etc.are doing there best to help them. There are two major roads thru those two towns that are still closed due to the flood. Yes, I hope so. Starting tomorrow and going into next week they are forecasting more rain!!!!!!:gaah: The ground is already saturated.

I will!


The flooding that we have is deviating & worse then the 1927 flood. In the City of Montpelier ( which is the Capital) the water rose to 5 feet.

:pray:..So glad you are doing well. I have never experienced a flooding. I have seen many sites that have been flooded in person. Really not a situation people need. Praying that you and others will make it through this event of weather.
 
Thursday

:coffee:...Good Morning and hopefully to a better day. Indiana is still extremely dry in my local weather area. Maybe get a little rain this afternoon. TV News People are saying is will come soon.

Currently 71°F with some clouds.

Today high of 83°F with some clouds and Sunshine. Low of 61°F.
Everything is going well here. ....:thumbup:
 
Meanwhile.... Here are the high/low temperatures in the desert S.W. for today and the next 6 days:
114/92, 117/93, 119/92, 118/93, 116/92, 116/93, 115/93. :gaah:. We could sure use some of that rain you're seeing in Vermont, Deanna. If my count is correct, the greater Phoenix area has not seen any measurable precipitation for 112 days now. :shocked: Excessive heat warnings stay in effect with no end in sight. The water heater for our community pool has not been in operation for a couple months. But the water keeps getting warmer. They do operate aerators at night to try to cool it but these day time temperatures just make it warmer and warmer. :banghead:. Sure wish we could share some of this dry, warm weather with those of you who need it. Stay safe..... Jim

Little Blue: Thanks!

They are also forecasting more dangerous weather today from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm ( we could get more rain, hail, high winds, and even a tornadoes) The state has been pre-positioning swift water rescue teams ahead of the dangerous weather although they are not likely to see the kind of flooding as earlier in the week. As of now there has been no fatalities so far from the storm. Today, and Friday and Sunday are expected to bring additional threats of flash flooding to the areas where rivers are high and the ground is already saturated. The governor urged Vemonters to remain viglant. They are still keeping a close on eye on 3 ( Manger )dams.


We are Vermont Strong!

Everybody thinks about the heat and the humidity in Mississippi and forgets that mother nature tries to blow us away, drown us, or burn us up at least a few times per year. :pray:
 
Vermont up-date ..... there were 82 State Highways that were affected ( ie. closures ) as of now, they estimate hundreds of town roads had major wash-outs !!!! .... My best friend who lives back in the woods on a mountain lost almost all of His steep driveway..... and there isn't any Gravel available to repair it ..... luckily He has a four wheel drive tractor with Canadian Chains ( ie. logging chains ).....PS thanks to the many members who have PM'd me with their concerns, my property wasn't directly affected, but the nearby area's were ..

Vermont Flood Update 7/14/203 @ 2:29 pm

As of today The Governor said that has been 1 Fatality due to the flooding.

Also, yesterday afternoon & evening the weather was very active with wide spread strong to severe thunderstorms and many reports of wind damage. There was also some hail, and even a couple of funnel clouds, one in St. Lawrence County of New York,and the other was near Blueknight911( Mike). However, they did not reach the ground and form into actual tornadoes.

In the southern part of Vermont 2 of the counties got hit again last night by severe storms. There was a wave of strong thunderstorms that rolled through the region Thursday night that caused upwards of 18,000 power outages but avoided any major flooding, according to the state officials.

Thousands of Vermonters were forced to take shelter after a tornado warning, but no tornadoes reportedly touched down in the state. A town near the Western part of Vermont was the epicenter of some of the worse weather. Residents that spoke to the local news channel said that they weren't worried about the flooding from the rain as they were about the wind. A store owner said that he and his family- as well as some of the employees -hid in a basement. A tree fell near a house and a road near the City Hall flooded but most of the damage was minor. They were very fortunate that we still have all of the houses.

There is more rain expected Sunday but National Weather Service officials say it is not likely to cause the kind of flooding seen earlier this week. Vermont ANR officials said Thursday they do not think that 1 of the dams ( There 3 dams in the state that they have been keeping on very close eye on) will likely to breach the its spillway Water level at the dam on Tuesday morning was 684 feet. As of this morning it was 681 feet.

They have closed some streets in the capital ( Montpelier) to allow emergency response clean-up,and only volunteers and emergency responders will be permitted to enter and pass through these areas until further notice.

They still have swift water rescue teams from other states here.

They also have several shelters open in the state for people.

The president approved major disaster declaration for Vt. flooding.

Also, dozens of the Vermont National Guard soldiers are on the ground helping where they can.

With masks and gloves ready Vt. flood volunteers show up in force. Cities and towns across Vermont are mucking out, mopping up, and cleaning sludge from their homes and businesses.

We are Vermont Strong!


We help each other out.

Highs today will be in the 70's and low 80's. Next week is looking drier! We can send some of this rain to anyone who needs it!!


We are not out of the woods yet.

I am OK! I am safe.
Deanna
 
Also, as of tonight, we are getting thunder & lighting.

***** Mother Nature stop giving us rain and severe storms. We Vermonter's need a break!!!!!!*******


This coming Sunday we are getting more rain.

Some of the Swift Water Teams are still here, they came from the Carolina's and other States to help us out.
