Flash Flooding Causes Damage in Northern Vermont

On July 30, northern Vermont experienced severe flash flooding following heavy rainfall, with some areas receiving 6 to 8 inches overnight. The National Weather Service issued a flash flood emergency, particularly affecting the town of St. Johnsbury, where significant road washouts occurred. Emergency services conducted approximately two dozen rescues in the affected areas, which included Lyndon and St. Johnsbury, with no immediate reports of injuries. Several major roads were closed due to flooding, and additional rain was anticipated, raising concerns of further flooding. This event follows a previous severe flooding incident earlier in July linked to Hurricane Beryl, which had already caused extensive damage in the region. Residents were advised to seek higher ground and remain vigilant as more storms were forecasted.
