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?

When storm clouds hit the Green Mountains and start to rise up, they dump their water content. It’s the same reason why you get lots of rain and snow on the west side of mountain ranges in the Western US but the eastern side of those same ranges are almost deserts. Just on a smaller scale.
