Heavy rain drenched part of the Northeast, washing out roads, forcing evacuations and halting some airline travel. ANDOVER, Vt. — — A storm that dumped up to two months of rain in two days in Vermont and other parts of the Northeast brought more flooding Tuesday in communities marooned by water, including the state capital, where a dam just upstream was threatening to overflow.
Dozens of roads and highways were closed, including many along the spine of the Green Mountains, and while skies cleared on Tuesday, the National Weather Service in Burlington said more rain was in the forecast for Thursday. Flash flood warnings and advisories were in effect meanwhile for much of the state, from the Massachusetts line to Canada.
Multiple rescue crews were positioned in Montpelier, where dispatch, police and fire operations were relocated to a water treatment plant after heavy flooding at City Hall and the police and fire departments. Also, the radio towers they use for emergency calls are not functional, Police Chief Eric Nordenson said.
“We're trying to find paths to get supplies in to them,” said John Montes, American Red Cross of Northern New England regional disaster officer.and Connecticut on Sunday. Some communities received between 7 and 9 inches of rain by Monday night. FEMA sent a team to Vermont, along with emergency communications equipment, and is prepared to keep shelters supplied if the state requests it. The agency also is monitoring flooding in Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire, regional spokesperson Dennis Pinkham said Tuesday.
