Vermont is preparing for the next round of storms — and possibly a tornado — as people took advantage of a second day of calm weather to clean up from historic flooding that damaged thousands of homes, businesses and roads, and left some residents stranded.
The state of Vermont has agreed to pay $16.5 million to settle all pending and potential lawsuits against it from foreign investors in development projects at the Jay Peak resort.“We’ve seen many pictures on social media of kids swimming in floodwaters. This is not typical rainwater — it’s filled with chemicals, oil, waste, and more. It’s simply not safe,” he said.
Other New England states to the south were also drying out, including Connecticut, where officials warned boaters and others about dangerous debris in the Connecticut River, including large trees. A dock with several boats attached was washed away in Glastonbury, just south of Hartford, and was seen floating down the river a few towns away.
Scott said he planned to submit a request for a major disaster declaration to President Joe Biden. “It’s separate from, and in addition to, the federal emergency declaration the president already signed” on Tuesday, he said. If approved, the declaration would provide federal support for recovering communities.
