 In Event News

A storm, which brought an equivalent of two months’ worth of rain to Vermont and soaked other parts of the Northeastern United States, departed on Tuesday. Certain areas experienced over 9 inches of rainfall, leading to a rapid rise in Vermont’s rivers, reaching levels not witnessed since Hurricane Irene in 2011. The main route to Vermont’s state capital is closed due to flash floods.

Additionally, West Point, New York, received over 7.5 inches of rain within a six-hour period on Sunday with Orange County being one of the hardest hit. The intense weather resulted in road closures, water rescues, and urgent warnings about life-threatening flash floods.
