Heavy rain early Tuesday led to flash flooding and about two dozen rescues in northern Vermont, just weeks after the state was hit by flooding from the remnants of Hurricane Beryl. Some areas received 6 to 8 inches of rain, causing significant damage to roads and structures. Flash flood warnings were in effect through Tuesday afternoon.
A team is assessing the damage, which includes structural and road damage. Areas such as Lyndonville and St. Johnsbury were particularly affected, with reports of broken culverts and separated roads. Police issued a 'shelter in place' advisory for St. Johnsbury, and swift water rescue teams conducted approximately two dozen rescues overnight.
