The Winooski River at Montpelier has crested at 20.8ft!! Over a foot higher than Irene…

[Lauren Maloney @LaurenKMaloney]

INBOX: Just after midnight, @POTUS approved Vermont’s emergency declaration.

(@SenSanders & @PeterWelch said they spoke to the President’s Chief of Staff Monday night.).

[Haley Bouley @HaleyBouleyWX]

The Montpelier City Manager says the Wrightsville Dam is near capacity and a release of this dam would bring a large amount of ADDITIONAL water into the city via the North Branch of the Winooski.

Praying for the people of Montpelier… this situation is precarious.
