    Description

    Here is a real photo postcard depicting flooding on Main Street in Montpelier Vermont. The
    Great Vermont Flood of 1927
    was a major flooding event in Vermont which occurred November 2–4, 1927. Following a very wet October, record levels of rainfall were reached in November. The U.S. Geological Survey estimated 53% of the state received more than six inches of rain, with the greatest recorded amount being 9.86 inches in Somerset, Vermont, caused rivers throughout the state to flood. The flood is considered the worst flood in Vermont, with the only comparison being the 2011 Hurricane Irene. One visible business is C H Cross & Son. Also a garage and a church next door. AZO stamp box (1924-49). Unposted and very good condition.
