	Vermont's Northland Journal - Egnas Limoges
		When Egnas Limoges and his brother, Bill, left their family’s farmhouse on the River Road in North Troy during the late afternoon of November 3, 1927, to head back to their boarding house in the Village of North Troy, it was raining hard, harder than either young man had ever seen it rain before.
		As the brothers drove along the River Road in a Model T Ford, Limoges said he and his brother realized the Missisquoi River, which runs alongside the road, was higher than they’d ever seen it.
		It wasn’t rare for the river to overflow its banks in the spring, but the river seldom flooded later in the year, especially in the fall, and never as much as he saw that afternoon, Limoges said.

		Although the Applied Sciences hydrodynamic study was not optimistic in predicting phosphorus reductions, part of their prediction was based on the "little mixing between water masses (from Missisquoi Bay to the rest of the Inland Sea)".
