Why does Vermont flood more than New Hampshire?

234 views

I’ve lived in New Hampshire my entire life and whenever we get ridiculous amounts of rain (Hurricane Irene, right now) I always hear about Vermont getting washed away while we have some sporadic bad flooding here in New Hampshire. Is there a reason (like terrain) that Vermont floods so much more than us? Or is it that it has happened to flood more in my short 21 years of life?

Note, when Irene came through, up in the NH White mountains both the Kancamagus and 302 were shut down because flooding was so bad that good sized bridges washed out. 302 was out for months, I don’t remember how bad Kancamagus was.
