First credible flood warnings in my area.
Some context: The region in which I live, after catastrophic flooding in the middle of the 20th century, domesticated and tamed all of the rivers. We have a system of dams and other flood control that mostly keeps our water levels very stable. New Englanders do not understand how artificial the stability of our water levels is, and the kinds of floods we used to have here before all the dams were built to make sure that never happens again.
But now we’re getting rainfall like never before, and it’s not like our dams are any better maintained than our bridges are - and our bridges are a known scandal.
