Throughout the day Thursday, VTDigger reporters crisscrossed the region to cover the storm’s impact on Vermonters. They traveled to many of the hardest-hit towns and cities, including Barre, Plainfield, Lyndon, Moretown, Barnet, Williamstown and Hinesburg. Here are their stories:
Flooding ravages Plainfield — Michael Billingsley, the emergency management director for Plainfield, said Thursday morning that the whole center of town had essentially been “washed out.”
Flooding leaves Barre coated in mud and debris — Residents and business owners were employing shovels, rakes and hands to clear walkways of mud and debris, which was several inches thick in some areas.
Flood recovery begins again in Waterbury — “I guess this is an annual thing now,” said one village resident as he and his neighbors pulled out their shop vacs and water pumps to suck water from basements, and a few first floors, for the third time in a year.
Rains wreak havoc on Hinesburg roads — The water washed away a culvert, isolating the town garage, but road crews were still able to begin work starting at around 9 a.m.
