Vermont Flooding Chaos Posted Online by Residents: ‘This is Crazy!’
Roads were swept away and water poured through ski resort buildings as the rain kept falling
Striking Photos and Videos of extremely high and fast flooding in Vermont were posted across social media on Monday as the state dealt with the torrential heavy rain hitting the Northeast.
Footage showed debris being washed downriver in torrents of water caused by a storm being compared to Hurricane Irene in 2011 in terms of flooding.
"This is crazy, this is usually just a little brook!" one TikTok user posted from the edge of one waterway. "You can hear boulders slamming on the bottom."
"It's usually just a trickle, my kid swims here. Not today!" Turtle_turtle_wow added.
