The strongest storm brought down a huge amount of precipitation on this part of the country. Within 2 days of torrential rains, two months’ worth of precipitation fell there, which led to the rivers overflowing their banks. The epicenter of the floods was the state of Vermont, among the affected states are also New York, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Cities and areas directly affected by the floods include Burlington, Barre Town, Londonderry, Newport, Montpelier, Middlebury, Springfield and Rutland in Vermont. In addition, significant flooding is observed in other areas of the state and region. Flood warnings have been issued for Hartford and Falls River, Connecticut, and Greenfield and Northampton, Massachusetts. For now, the rain has stopped in most areas, but flood waters may continue to rise. At the end of the week, new rains are expected, fortunately not so intense. A state of emergency was declared in Vermont and New York. In Vermont, lifeguards have carried out more than 300 water rescues, and numerous roads across the state have been closed due to damage. Local authorities are assessing the damage caused by the catastrophic flood. At least seven people died, more than a hundred people were rescued from blocked houses and cars. At the moment, the forces of the National Guard continue to conduct search and rescue operations for those who did not get in touch. The state also announced the opening of flood relief centers this weekend in Barr and Ludlow. Residents of the region, as well as utilities and volunteers, are clearing rubble and cleaning the streets from dirt and debris, pumping water out of houses and basements.
