While the floods across Vermont may have receded, it has left a heavy layer of mud in its wake. Volunteers use snow shovels to move mud instead of snow as public work crews move the debris out of Montpelier.
Amy Rodger walked around the front yard of her Barre, Vermont home, where a thick coating of heavy, black mud coated the grass, her boots and nearly everything in sight. The 47-year-old's home was spared by the floods, but they left behind mud in nearly every crevice and crack on the first floor.
In the capital of Montpelier, volunteer Nick Kachinskiss was doing whatever he could to help, pushing shovels filled with mud across city streets and into piles to be picked up by public works crews. Dozens of businesses were inundated by water in Montpelier. When the damage is this widespread, there are no shortage of deafening sounds, from the pressure washers to the pumps.
