among other things, here's one slice of the chaos today: In Vermont's capital of Montpelier, the Winooski River is now forecast to reach its second highest level on record - about a foot higher than it did during Irene. (The record - over 27 feet - was in the catastrophic November 1927 floods.). and here's what that'd look like practically.

I wonder why the WP bothered to call it "New England floods" when the article only talks about one state in New England. New York is not part of New England, but half the article focuses on that state.
That's very much a regional view. Out west, no one bats an eye if you end New England at the Mason-Dixon line.
This sort of thing happens all the time. An Arizonan will never place Texas in the Southwest, but Virginians in my experience are a coin toss on South or Southwest. And then here we just split the difference and do SXSW.
