One of the least tragic consequences of the recent flooding:
My concert in famously never-inhabited Lewis, which was scheduled for the scenic Lewis Pond Overlook in the Silvio Conte Wildlife Refuge this September—very purposefully for the last weekend before the start of waterfowl season, so we would not frustate hunters by monopolizing the parking—was been postponed until at least next fall, as the road to the overlook was washed out by the recent record rainfall.
The July 10 flood claimed at least two lives in Vermont, and hundreds have lost their homes. Having to reschedule a concert is no tragedy. But it is interesting that this is already the second extreme-weather cancellation for me just this summer. This project, like any ongoing regular activity, serves as a barometer of climate destabilization in Vermont, as concerts intersect ever more frequently with weather disasters and extremes.
