What Vermont's Historic Floods Tell Us About Climate Change

Find America Outdoors with Baratunde Thurston here: https://to.pbs.org/3uKw6b8 In Vermont, summer is supposed to be about picnics, wild blueberries and maple creamies. And that’s how it was in 2023, until the floods came. In the hottest July since we started keeping records, the rain didn’t stop for two days, dropping more than nine inches of rain on some cities. And Montpelier, the state capitol, was fighting for its life. America Outdoors: Understory was on the scene to capture what happened in Montpelier, the fighting spirit of its citizens and the science behind the worst floods in its history. Scientists explain the impact of rising temperatures, and the way the state’s magnificent mountains trapped the rain in narrow river valleys. Witness the devastating impact on homes, farms and Main Street businesses. Embed with rescuers who braved the floods in boats, and meet Vermonters determined to recover, while painfully aware that the very idea of summer may be up for grabs. ***** PBS Member Stations rely on viewers like you.
