Everything to Know about the Recent Floods

The excessive rainfall in Vermont State is said to be one the worst and first areas to be marked as high risk since Hurricane Irene hit in 2011.

The current floods have already surpassed some of the Hurricane Irene statistics. For instance, The Winooski River was estimated to reach the second-highest level of 19.8 feet which was slightly higher than during Hurricane Irene.

On Sunday morning, Vermont Governor Philip Scott declared a state of emergency and warned residents to expect the showers to get heavier over the next hours.

On the other side, Mike Cannon of Vermont Urban Search and Rescue Crews revealed that they received help from North Carolina, Michigan, and Connecticut to save some of the people in unreachable towns.

The National Weather Service (NWS) also warned that the rainfall might worsen and continue until Monday. The floods were estimated to spread to Connecticut and Massachusetts and reach up to five inches of rain.

Residents in Hudson Valley have already faced the death of one woman who was tragically taken by a heavy weight of water. Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus confessed that the woman's house was surrounded by water with no way out.

Therefore, as the woman tried to get through the floods with her dog, she was overwhelmed by a tidal wave of water. The rescue team later discovered her body in the ruins.

One of the residents of Fort Montgomery, Kristen Dyroff, where the deceased woman lived, expressed that their area was completely secluded and had suffered the most damage because of the mudslides that damaged roadways and collapsed bridges.

Dyroff had been trying to get to her family in Fort Montgomery but was unsuccessful. The worried mother confessed, "I’m separated from my kids right now in Monroe at a friend’s house after spending five hours trying multiple ways to get to Fort Montgomery. Every route was impassable.”

New York Governor Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency on Sunday for Orange County. Hochul worried about the people whose lives were at risk because they were stuck in their cars when the flood started.

The New York Governor urged everyone to stay indoors as the rainfall was expected to get worse. Many houses were on flood watch until Monday morning, and officials encouraged people to move to higher floors in their homes to avoid the life-threatening danger of their basements flooding.

The water flowing through the towns was unbelievable, and scientists will be doing a scientific analysis to understand the ongoing climate crisis. However, more rain showers and storms are expected due to warm weather.

Although the rain is reported to have slowed down, people are still advised to watch the weather forecast closely and stay indoors until it is safe.
