President Joe Biden declared an emergency for all 14 counties in Vermont early Tuesday as the state received two months' worth of rain in two days.
The Northeastern U.S. is not alone in experiencing deadly flooding this year: Serious deluges have taken place in India, China, Japan, and Turkey in 2023,“As the climate gets warmer we expect intense rain events to become more common, it’s a very robust prediction of climate models,” University of Miami professor of atmospheric sciences Brian Soden told, adding, “It’s not surprising to see these events happening, it’s what models have been predicting since day one.
The Northeast is expected to be particularly impacted by increased precipitation, risk associate director at the Woodwell Climate Research Center Zachary Zobel“We’re heading into a new normal,” Zobel said. “The climate you’ve experienced previously is not the climate you’re going to be living in for the next 30 years.”So are we! That’s why we’re on a mission to shake things up and bring you the stories and perspectives that often go untold in mainstream media.
