Meanwhile in Vermont
Remnants of Hurricane Beryl dumped heavy rain on Vermont this week, destroying and damaging homes, knocking out bridges, cutting off towns and retraumatizing a state where some people are still awaiting assistance from the last catastrophic floods that hit a year ago to the day.
More than 100 people were rescued by swift-water teams during the worst of the deluge and at least two people died, officials said.
Dylan Kempton, 33, was riding an all-terrain vehicle late Wednesday when he was swept away by floodwaters in Peacham, Vermont State Police said in a statement. His body was recovered Thursday morning.
John Rice, 73, died when he drove his vehicle through a flooded street Thursday morning in Lyndonville, police Chief Jack Harris said. The floodwater current swept the vehicle off the road and into a hayfield that was submerged under 3 metres of water.
Stunned residents emerged Thursday to begin the cleanup even as some rivers crested and intermittent rainfall continued. The heaviest damage was in a series of small towns along a hilly corridor on the Winooski River, connected mostly by U.S. Route 2.
The storm dropped more than 15 centimetres of rain on parts of Vermont, and the heaviest rainfall was in the same areas devastated a year ago. Receding floodwaters left damage and lots of mud.
“It’s not lost on any of us the irony of the flood falling on the one-year anniversary to the day when many towns were hit last year,” Gov. Phil Scott said Thursday. “But we’re ready, our response and tools are only stronger as a result of last year, and we will get through this.”
