Flood waters overtake houses in Vermont

Way back in the 1980s the west river was in flood. The Ball Mountain dam impoundment filled completely up and the dam overflowed causing water to over and down the spillway. All the trees that grew on the spillway washed away. It was the first time it happened since the dam was built. We kayaked the river the day after and it was still quite high.

Vermont. Come for the 45 below weather and stay for the flooding, black flies and mosquitoes.

Water front property is worth a lot more.

Praying for help... There's hope...I am the gate; whoever enters through me (Jesus/God) will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:9,10 Repent/believe It was out of love Jesus died for you live 4 him.

I met some nice men from Vermont, they were carpenters. We met in Australia 1989, and they helped build the condos in Pt Douglas QLD. God Bless Vermont.

Compared to the 55 flood this is child play

20" of rain in 2 days. That's before the flood control dams were built as well.

@@norm2264 It is worse than 1955 and 2011 (Irene) in most areas, in terms of recorded history only 1927 was worse overall and is widely compared to what has happened in July 2023.
