We've had one of the wettest summers in Vermont that I can recall in many years. On July 10-11th we experienced catastrophic flash flooding and river flooding across the ENTIRE state! As much as 9 inches of rain fell in less than 48 hours. In parts of the state it was the worst flooding in about 100 years, even worse than Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 which also devastated the whole state. This time around people lost their homes, their businesses, their crops, their livestock, their farmland soils, the cars, etc., and at least two people lost their lives. Some places will take years to recover. FEMA is still working here helping with recovery efforts and helping to find housing for people.
And the heavy rains just keep coming! It rained heavily all day today too.
Here is some footage from Friday, September 8th. I decided to make a short trip into town after the rains finally stopped but on the drive into town the sky opened up!
The first part of the video looks out of focus but there was dense fog and it was raining so hard it just looks that way. I could barely see where I was driving.
During the storm on July 10-11 our State Capital in Montpelier VT was one of the places that got hit the worst. Most of the city was badly flooded. There were scenes like this all over the state.
Luckily for me, I live on a mountain so no flooding for me even though the things got pretty wet and the dirt road I live on took a hit.
Here's what the City of Montpelier looked like after the storm in July.
