Under the Sea (or the rain) - Record Rainfall Leads to Historic Flooding in Vermont


Listen Later

Vermont saw historic rain amounts last week, with many localities estimating 6-9 inch totals! However, due to significant saturation levels in both the air and ground and an atmospheric roadblock, the historic rains led to immense flooding throughout Vermont's rivers and valley towns, including the state capital of Montpelier. This was Vermont's worst flooding event since 1927.
