    Vermont in crisis: state of emergency declared as devastating flash floods wreak havoc

    Vermont in crisis: state of emergency declared as devastating flash floods wreak havoc

    A state of emergency has been declared in the northeastern U.S. state of Vermont following torrential rain that triggered life-threatening flash floods. The region, including New York and Vermont, has experienced some of the worst flooding in over a decade, causing widespread damage and prompting authorities to mobilize emergency response teams.

    The recent downpour has resulted in roads being completely submerged, leaving residents trapped in their homes. Tragically, one person lost their life in New York's Hudson Valley while attempting to escape the flooding. The devastating storm has already inflicted tens of millions of dollars in damages, and concerns are mounting about the potential overflow of the Winooski River dam, located in Montpelier, the state's capital.

    The deluge of rain over the past few days has led to more than two months' worth of precipitation within a mere 48 hours. As a result, emergency teams from neighboring regions have been deployed to assist with rescue and relief efforts. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation, particularly the risk of the dam breaching, which could exacerbate the flooding in downtown areas already submerged up to waist-high levels.

    President Joe Biden turns to Twitter to express his resolute commitment in aiding Vermont with flood damages.

    Today, I spoke with @GovPhilScott, @SenSanders, and @FEMA_Deanne to reiterate my commitment to getting Vermont the federal assistance it needs to respond to severe floods.

    Additionally, we have approved an Emergency Declaration, will continue coordinating with officials on the…

    — President Biden Archived (@POTUS46Archive) July 11, 2023

    Although the sun made an appearance on July 11, offering some respite, additional sunshine is expected on July 12. However, meteorologists predict further rainfall on July 13 and 14, raising concerns about the possibility of prolonged flooding. Atmospheric scientists emphasize that such destructive flooding events are becoming increasingly frequent as storms develop in a warmer atmosphere. The planet's rising temperatures contribute to the severity of these incidents, indicating a worrying trend for the future.

    The memory of Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 looms large in Vermont. The storm claimed six lives and caused extensive destruction, washing away homes from their foundations and damaging or destroying more than 200 bridges and 805 kilometers of highways. 

    Local authorities are urging residents to stay vigilant and follow any evacuation orders or safety guidelines provided.
