Ripton and Hancock Vt must be getting washed away.  This will be really bad.

https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KVTRIPTO7

This site up to 2.82 inches and coming down at 2.1 per hour at the moment.

Downstream of there will be hurt too.

 

I left the Morrisville Hannafords a little after 9 and immediately saw the lightning show.  I thought I would be driving right into it but it stopped moving and grew.  I was sure I would get caught in it between Barre and Randolph but I out ran it.  1 1/2 hours of constant lightning.

Ripton drains that western slope just east of Middlebury… they have to be seeing some issues/damage with 2”+ verifying or even on the low-end compared to local PWS.

Do most of you Vermonters have flood insurance? Regular homeowners doesn't usually cover flood damage. Manu people are going to be faced with fixing their homes out-of pocket if they didn't have flood insurance.

Also, it's probably going to be impossible to find contractors to fix a lot of this stuff up. Imagine how many electricians, drywall installers, carpenters, etc are going to be needed to fix/check all these flooded homes.

I'd say its probably in line with elsewhere.  I don't but I'm nowhere near a flood zone.

This article answers the question about flood insurance. Flood Insurance Pays More Than FEMA — But Few Vermonters Have It
