Disaster revisits Vermont as Beryl’s remnants flood the state a year after catastrophic rainfall
At least one person is dead in Vermont after the remnants of Hurricane Beryl brought flooding that led to frantic evacuations, knocked down bridges and washed away an apartment building. Officials say more than 100 people had to be rescued from rushing waters after heavy rain that started Wednesday and persisted into Thursday. Residents of an apartment building in the town of Plainfield had only 15 minutes to evacuate before the entire structure was swept away. The disaster came a year to the day after catastrophic rainfall inundated parts of the state. Flooding and tornadoes from Beryl have also caused problems in New York and New Hampshire.
