More flooding hits Vermont with washed-out roads, smashed vehicles and destroyed homes

Thunderstorms and torrential rain brought another wave of violent floods Tuesday that caved in roads, crushed vehicles, pushed homes off their foundations and led to dramatic boat rescues in northeastern Vermont.

…and now, not long after the city was hit bad in #Vermont’s now annual July 11 hundred-year flood disaster (see above) it rained 8” in St. Johnsbury over only four hours with predictable horrific results.

Freak storm like a summer nor’easter (which is not a thing) so there was no flood risk in the forecast and no warning posted until it was happening in the middle of the night. Many people were still recovering and rebuilding from the floods two weeks ago and in some cases last year. Haven’t seen any reports of injuries yet, or worse.

@JosephAndriano Pictures from higher up show that dirt roads washed out completely around corners and through homes/yards.

Our culverts, roads, drainage ditches, and infrastructure is not built for this 💔💔

@JosephAndriano Not good. Friends in Barre posted flash flooding last night was higher than last year.

Waterbury seems to be under water up to Main Street again. All downtown Rec camps closed, and road closures continuing up and down Rt 100.

As advertised, a year to the day after what the weather service calls The Great Vermont Flood of 2023, the remains of deeply anomalous #HurricaneBeryl came up this way, found a mass of unusually supersaturated air, of course lots of extra heat in the warmest year ever, and then got squeezed out like a giant wet rag along an east-west line between two fronts converging across far upstate New York and northern Vermont. Details are just coming in but there are already lots of repeat customers for destroyed town and city centers, bridges and roads, fields and farms.

“I honestly don't know how Barre will recover from two devastating floods in one year”

Dear #ClimateDiary, the national weather service technical discussion is starting to ring alarms for rain-driven flooding later this week in northern Vermont from the remains of #HurricaneBeryl, a year to the day after historic “100-year” floods did major and still not entirely repaired damage in this area (including wrecking nearly every major town center in the county that tops a list of the most climate-safe in the U.S.) 🙃

“There are increasing indications that we could be seeing scattered if not numerous 4 to 6 inches totals, where convection or training of the moderate to heavy rainfall occurs, with isolated 6 to 8 inches amounts. Those numbers, if they do materialize, would be comparable to the flooding event we experienced almost exactly a year ago.”

Vermont’s flood-wracked capital city ponders a rebuild with one eye on climate change

Vermont’s flood-wracked capital city ponders a rebuild with one eye on climate change

A beloved bookstore in Vermont’s small capital city moved across the street to a new spot farther from the Winooski River after an ice jam sent river water into the store in 1992. But the move to higher ground wasn't enough to save it from the latest flooding from torrential rains in July seen by some as the state’s worst natural disaster since a 1927 flood that killed dozens of people and caused widespread destruction. Now the mostly gutted shops and restaurants in downtown Montpelier are considering where and how to rebuild in an era when extreme weather is occurring more often. Vermont’s flooding was just one of several major flood events around the globe this summer that scientists have said are becoming more likely due to climate change.

A number of Vermont bookstores are participating in an event tomorrow where they will donate 20% of the proceeds from sales to help Bear Pond Books of Montpelier and Next Chapter Books of Barre, both of whom were seriously flood damaged.

If you want to help and get books in the process, shop at any of the participating bookstores tomorrow.
