In Vermont, waters are starting to recede after historic flooding inundated roads, homes and businesses. An emergency health order closed downtown Montpelier for a day as it was submerged in water. Over 100 people have been rescued. Officials fear more rains forecast for Thursday could create even more havoc. Governor Phil Scott said Tuesday the flooding and rains were greater than 2011’s Hurricane Irene.
Gov. Phil Scott: “People will think this is over, but it’s not over, because the rivers could still rise. The water has to go someplace. The reservoirs are filling up.”
