Vermont Faces Third Year of Devastating Floods | JQJO

Vermont is experiencing its third consecutive summer of severe flooding, with heavy rainfall causing significant damage in rural areas. Up to 5 inches of rain fell in hours on Thursday, leading to flash floods that inundated homes and roads in Sutton. Nearly 20 homes were isolated, requiring swift-water rescues. While the storm wasn't as widespread as previous years, the repeated flooding has left residents and officials disheartened, with some considering relocation or retirement. The National Weather Service attributes the flooding to climate change and Vermont's mountainous terrain. Massachusetts also experienced flash flooding.
