LYNDON, Vt. — Weeks after Jason Pilbin witnessed a driver get swept away by floodwaters, his northeastern Vermont community was ravaged again by flooding from heavy rains on Tuesday.
Thunderstorms and torrential rain brought another wave of violent floods early Tuesday that caved in and washed away roads, crushed vehicles, pushed homes off their foundations and led to dramatic boat rescues in northeastern Vermont. Some areas got 6 to more than 8 inches of rain. The Lyndonville Fire Department staffed its station with its swift water rescue team around 2:30 a.m. and started rescues around 3 a.m., said Chief Jeff Carrow.
In St. Johnsbury, Vanessa Allen said she knew there was a possibility of rain, but wasn’t counting on the excessive amount.Her home was situated between two road washouts, so she was unable to leave. The roads were pockmarked and covered in debris. Nearby, she said, a house was off its foundation and blocking a road.The state experienced major flooding earlier in July from the tail end of Hurricane Beryl. The flooding destroyed roads and bridges and inundated farms.
