- Welcome to our RUclips channel, where we bring you exclusive coverage of the historic July 2023 floods in Vermont. Witness the aftermath of a deluge of epic proportions that unleashed over three months' worth of rain across the Northeast, resulting in one of the worst floods in nearly a century. From Londonderry to Montpelier, we take you on a journey through the devastated landscapes, showcasing the impact of this natural disaster.
In this video, you'll witness the dramatic scenes of rescue operations as over 200 people were saved from the raging floodwaters in Vermont alone. Tragically, the floods claimed the life of one person in New York. The state capital of Montpelier faced a potentially dangerous situation as a dam on the Winooski River reached its maximum capacity, putting the city's flood protection at risk. City officials were on high alert, closely monitoring the situation.
Join us as we explore the aftermath of this historic flood, many comparing it to the infamous 1927 flood that devastated the entire state.
As Vermont begins its long recovery process, we highlight the ongoing risks of dangerous weather, including the potential for more flash floods, severe thunderstorms, hail, and even tornadoes. The National Weather Service has issued warnings, emphasizing the need for caution. We share important updates on the weather conditions and the measures being taken to ensure public safety.
Prepare to be amazed by the powerful visuals captured in this video, showcasing the resilience of Vermonters in the face of adversity. Stay tuned for more updates on the recovery efforts and the continuous monitoring of weather patterns affecting the region. Subscribe to our channel for the latest news and exclusive coverage of significant events like the July 2023 Vermont floods.

Love and strength to the beautiful stalwart Vermonters. Thank you for this. I spent 2 weeks a year in these parts of vt for two decades. Ludlow Weston, Chester, Grafton. . Generally only a few shots of the same things were on yt. Last time with Irene lots of footage by just folks on YT was easy to find We could hear it from the folks themselves and empathize and as soon as we could we got up there to support them. This time only news clips. I love that you got personal and let them express their reality. We are coming as soon as possible. ❤
Thank you…it’s why I like this format and don’t work for a network, I can actually share stories and not craft narratives.
This is great coverage and extended interviews. I can just feel their shock and awe. Prayers for these folks and these business owners for recovery.
I appreciate the feedback! Thank you
❤A Big Thank you to the gentleman that helped Lena get her bearded dragon!!!❤ And kudos to the community helping each other!!
Great reporting!
Absolutely, very cool of him to paddle over and grab Kahleesi the dragon!
Great report Jonathan. It so sad to see this. Its such a beautiful and historic area. I know it has to be hard for those effected.
Thank you, it’s such a beautiful city and this flood hit right at the heart of everything there in the middle of tourist season. Going to be really tough on businesses
This is what a great report looks like, and thanks for not using the distorting panoramic view.
We (Sydney & the south coast of Australia) had weeks and weeks of rain last *summer* and it was horrid. The stench of constant wet earth. Even the dog left muddy paw prints when she walked on the lawn! Then came the mould and all that entails. Stay safe!
I appreciate your kind words, thanks for watching! Hope you guys are having a nice winterb
I was planning a trip to Vermont for August 3 for the Calvin Coolidge Centennial. I was going to go through Londonderry, Weston and Ludlow on Route 100. I will not go now. There are so many roads out no matter which way you go. It will take months to get back to anywhere near normal. Very sad.
It is tough to find a route sometimes
"Kind of cool in a post apocalyptic way". One of the greatest quotes of the year.
Poor guy lives on one of the worst hit streets too
My boyfriend stayed in his 3rd floor Langdon st apartment during the flood. He watched the water surround the building and creep its way up through the first floor. The worst part about all of this is the damage to all of the downtown businesses 💔 We have watched people gut out their businesses, and experienced the rotting smells of the huge trash piles that have been removed quite slowly. Some places are committed to reopening, but sadly some will not.
Virtual high five on the dragon rescue, that guy was awesome.
Great report.
Glad you enjoyed it! That kayaker was a sport!
It was amazing to stand their with my neighbors at the end of East State St and watch the rescue happen. ❤
Great teamwork
Always...he gets us to and from disasters safely!
Recently I’ve been seeing multiple small channels giving some of the best documentation’s I’ve seen in years. Thank you
Appreciate you watching!
I live in New England and vacationed up and down the coast. Vermont is the most beautiful state !!! Locals take pride in their property & state. They will rebuild & regroom quickly.
Great video. I really appreciate how y'all go in and get the story.
Thank you! We push it to the limit to try and get as much of the story as possible and keep working when others are sleeping.
@@JonathanPetramalayes you do! Loved your stories from Tahoe this winter and spring.
Your videos are awesome, but your story telling is what I really love.
@@speedoflight3532 thanks for continuing to watch! I am really glad you enjoy the stories :)
Wow, what the government can do with the Weather is amazing.
What amazing coverage. I remember that 2011 flood that took out Dots in Wilmington. It was my favorite place to get chili after a day of skiing. We donated all the money we could to help get it rebuilt. Seeing this brought back some sad memories. Vermont is so, so special. I hope they're able to come back stronger.
Thank you for watching! It’s a nice state, sad to see these kind of things happen
😒😒 Stay strong Vermonters! ❤
Thank you Jonathan for your efforts to deliver the news of what is occurring 😊
Appreciate it!
Thank you for sharing this video, great reporting by the way up close and personal with the community it really gave me the feeling of being there
I appreciate the feedback, glad you enjoyed the storytelling
I'm heading there tomorrow to help with recovery efforts.
Awesome!
Excellent reporting ! Much better than the " news "
Thank you! This format lets me do things the right way IMO and why I am not working for a network. I appreciate your feedback
Great coverage!
Thank you! Appreciate it!
GREAT REPORTING!!!!
Thank you for watching!
Hard Rain, is a great movie for you younger folks. Every time I hear of a massive flooding in a town, I end up watching Hard Rain, great movie to relate to these events of great action over real time drama..
Never watched it
I was in the same area the day this published. Montpelier is free of water. On Saturday July 14th 2023 there seemed to be a cleanup party going on downtown with people helping haul out the damaged furnishings. Most of the main roads only have minor damage. But in some places there are entire trees sitting in fields hundreds of yards from streams that are now back to normal. You can see something happened, but mostly it is well in hand. Not that they don't still need help, but the flood has mostly gone after a week. Lots of personal tragedy though, houses flooded, people dumping tons of their belongings. We saw one house where their driveway bridge survived, but the land from there to their house is gone. We saw a ski center west of Woodstock that was left buried in gravel months after Irene, but this time they already had heavy equipment digging it out. Surely to ask if you could help her grab her pet? You weren't the one intending to grab her pet?
She came up and asked how she could get her pet, I said let’s go get it…when it got too deep I waved down the kayak guy and he went the rest of the way like a champ. Happy ending.
Where I am in in NY, just by Vermont, we get heavy flooding in some places and the biggest thing after repairs? Mold and cockroaches. Thankfully I always lived on tall hills.
I played for the Vermont Expos (Minor League Baseball) in '99 .I wish all the best for the Vermont people. From Amsterdam
Those hats were pretty cool
It's a good thing your doing , bringing attention to these natural disasters. It's good to get the word out because knowledge is power plus I like how you interact with people I'm sure it's traumatic for them so it's probably comforting to them to have someone to talk to
I believe it can be. I am in these so much that I can at least talk with them with confidence about what’s going on and what we can do
really good boots on the ground video, better than any mainstream source
Thank you. It’s our goal every time. Show the reality, document it and communicate.
Good work, it is amazing that why construction allowed along with river or stream right of way, which caused destruction.
Thanks, people have a tendency to stay put in the places of our ancestors and that puts us at risk unfortunately
@@JonathanPetramala, it not looks the ancestors practice, real estate mafia involved to obstruct river or stream path.
What makes this worse than Irene is that water appears to have no where to drain. Ponding has the potential of infectious disease to humans. Creeks and streams are too narrow, shallow, and small to retain this amount of volume of water from overflowing its banks. Vermont needs a big and bold civil engineering solution. Its either this or rebuild everything on higher ground which sounds to me like a problem larger than the flood itself.
It looks like in places this raw water power can be harnessed to generate enough new power stations as a back up when it does flood in remote towns and villages. There is answer and a solution to every problem. Where is the will the time and the money to do it? I hope Vermont finds a solution that would work for other parts of the country.
a thumbs up is not enough gratitude for doing a video
❤️
Thank you for doing this.
I appreciate you watching!
I wish I was there for Irene... I was in Florida at the time.. it's odd though... I moved away from Vermont in 1994, I moved back up here in 2012 and lived in Whitingham for awhile.. I moved back full time in 2017, and it's ironic that a few years after moving away from Arcadia Florida, the area I lived was flooded when the Peace River overflowed the banks...
the music you choose is incredible
Thank you
Welp. Shit happens. This happens all over. Sorry for your luck/loss
please be careful do not take any chances if you can leave get out and take your animals with you and leave
the combination of a vlog and journalism is going to be the next big thing
I hope so 🤞
We stand with you Vermont! My happy place!
A beautiful state with awesome people
appreciate this, great job!
Thank you! Appreciate you watching
on a toujours construit nos routes dans les rivières , les lacs, autour, le long des rives, des cours d'eau. Ensuite on bâtis dedans!
Nature is giving humans an eviction notice...No place remotely safe to live these days!
Judgment.
Thanks for your help biden & breny.❤
I know the people in VT are resilient. These towns will def. bounce back, in fact they are as we speak.
I like your videos
Thank you! Hope you keep watching!
Best footage I've seen. Thanks for covering this
I appreciate it!
You're doing an excellent job....I saw you first via the 50 feet of snow in the Sierra Nevadas and now you're in Vermont. I'm in CT...also your video camera records like being there , best I've seen ever
Wow, thank you! I appreciate you following along. I will have a video from the historic floods in Western Kentucky soon!
that is unbelievable. i lived in montpelier up the hill on E State St. and that is going to really make that place into a wasteland... sad.
Vermonters are so god forsakenly chill oml.
Very chill
Give back the property to it's right full owner. There will be no peace untill the property is returned
Nice video
Thank you!
@@JonathanPetramala you welcome
I am from Nova Scotia Hammond Plains, we this spring we when through a wild fire that destroyed over 170 house. Just over a moth later and we saw floods like none have never seen before. My house had a stream in our back year and 4 foot water fall were there is no water pathway. We where lucky for we do not have a basement too flood. In 8 hours 256 mm of water fell, more then we would see in a summer. We had already has more rain then normal amounts already this year after having a very dry winter. We are now back in to burning bands not even a week after this. The only worming we had was flash floods with 75 mm of rain coming a day before this happened, a normal flood for use.
It was so much rain
I didn’t know Vermont floods like this!! 😩😟😳
Well done…. Very sad to see this happen to Montpelier . I stay at the Capitol Plaza Hotel a few times a year on business. Hoping they bounce back quickly
They were in the heart of the flooding
That is ghastly! A flood looks scary
Good stuff!!!
Thank you
God bless those poor people. It’s been such a long time since I was up there. My great grandfather Mercantile store was right in downtown Ludlow. 🤔 I was just wondering how bad the flooding was in Ludlow Vermont. I wonder if my Ancestors is still buried in the Mount Pleasant cemetery or have they floated down stream
It was bad with a mud slide. We couldn’t access the town bc roads were washed out
Ecclesiastes 4:16. Malachi 1:4. Psalms 49:11
Great reporting, camera shots are excellent. Not a fan of the music.
Thank you…appreciate the feedbaxk
its videos like these that remind me we will face more frequent and more severe weather events in the decades to come. it will have ripple effects in the economy, supply chain and agriculture that we cannot calculate. 10's of millions of people will die as a result but we will probably turn into mad max before we try doing anything about it. this is the world my generation inherits
The world has changed
*Nam myoho rengekyo 🙏 pray 🌍 peace be safe*
2:51 just google mapped that to see it dry .... ME Australia ...WOW
It was an incredible sight
The floods in Nova Scotia , Canada are the same right now
I wonder if the Weston Village is also ruined! They have such great shops. I always loved it..
I don’t know 🤷♂️
Chicoutimi Deluge 1996 idk if it was the worst or not but I have some family from there (they weren't there when it happen)
Im from vermont but i live in europe. This is heartbreaking to watch
It was sad to witness
Open your history book. Go in november 1927, the way people live in that time. No train service. Tracks and bridges gone as well as many roads in an era of Ford model
T. Cold late fall. Food, medicare and so many things we take for granted didn´t exist.
You know what ? They struggled and after months life went normal.
PBS made a decent documentary with many photographs and interviews with those citizens.
You are """ lucky """ , it´s 2023.
Wish you the best, your neighbor from the north.
Plus it was in November so it was really cold
@@JonathanPetramala thanks for your comment and document that is part of historique now, for the futures generations..
I don´t know if it´s good for these overburden citizens, but invite all to see on YT the PBS of the big snowstorm that hit Wyoming and surronding states that started on january 2nd 1949. Due to high winds and extreme cold, some snowbanks were 20 feet high with some farms waited 2 months before roads could be plowed. In mid summer shaded area were still under snow.
Water, liquid or solid can be devastating.

Looks like to me the government needs to come up with some money too so these people can get their house lifted, being they have so much money to give away
You won't mind paying your taxes then. I bet when it's your state you'll be expecting Federal help.
@@cageordie I pay all my taxes and they've already done it here
I was just asking my dad and stepmom what they’d do if this flooding came to CT. We got nearly 2 1/2” inches of rain yesterday, and the ground is waterlogged. If a lot more comes, we could be in trouble too!
I was in CT and captured some of the flooding in Waterbury and New Haven. Extreme flooding comes down to duration AND intensity of rainfall rates. If you get 7 inches in 45 minutes like what happened down in Pennsylvania, bad things will happen
@@JonathanPetramala Just saw footage from flooding in Waterbury. Didn’t know about the New Haven flooding. This summer is the worst I’ve seen from a climate crisis standpoint. And simultaneously I’m feeling the worst I’ve ever been with Chronic Lyme symptoms. 😢 It’s like the climate stress I see hitting US outside is proportional to the Lyme stress I’m feeling inside. 😣
Very Sad😢 Catastrophic situation off course 😮
Absolutely
It's just crazy here 😢 I pray for families and business's this is so tragic otter creek is a lake makes me wonder what winter will dump on us
Poor Vt, love it.
It’s a beautiful state
@@JonathanPetramala it is, I’m from Burlington. Unfortunately flatlanders do what they do and brought their shotty politics and views to a once great state that was always top 5 places to live, not now.
@@mikehawk120 sorry to hear that
@@JonathanPetramala such is life. I moved out back in 97, only visit now. Some places out in the sticks aren’t bad, and the sate still has its own charm so I can’t knock that.
Once the water recedes, the state needs to build up a berm by the river/creek so as to prevent it flooding next time heavy rains come about. And then... build up the areas by the homes to prevent water getting up to and into them, including some better drainage in strategic locations that is better than what already or doesn't exists.
Hopefully they can make some changes
That'd require our politicians to invest in public good instead of investing in their own pockets every year
@@justsomeguy-yd3yw And that is something many (who are mostly of the Liberal persuasion) won't do.
Funny that people who've built these towns or live in these towns right on a waterway never expect this
We bought our 1890 house in 2002. We were told, by the owners, that it had never flooded the 30 years they lived here. We flooded in May of 2011. We were told that it was a "hundred year" flood. This flood is much, much worse. Our basement floor is filled with five inches of mud
The back wall of our garage was pushed in, the cement broken and undermined. It will have to be taken down. They're saying it is a "thousand year" flood. I love this house and my gardens, and yes, the river,too, but if I could ethically sell it I would. The best we can do is find a way to channel flood waters away from us. Every problem is solvable--except maybe climate change, at this point.
As a highway / bridge engineer for NYSDOT, I can tell you that we typically design our infrastructure for 100-year flood. So when 1000-year storm comes along, good luck!
Yeah nothing was stopping this one
13:09 in the background. the building with the two metal plaques. the top plaque is the high level mark of the 1927 flood. this wasn't a once in a thousand year event. This is an event that happens more frequently than people are capable of remembering. even greater floods have happened, only.. noone survived to tell the story.
Im sure that the wrightville dam buffered the upstream water, preventing the brake of the 1927 record. so you cannot compare water levels downstream the dam after 1935.
from what I picked up is that areas of the upper basins got (much) less rain
The reservoir kept back a lot of water from the north fork so it wouldn’t have surprised me if the reservoir wasn’t there, that the 1927 record could have at least been challenged
i know i'm not the only one who thought we were about to rear end tf out of that truck at 2:40
Haha, no @wxchasing is too good of a drone pilot
Gold Shaw Farm has 24 hour fundraising going on
Yea, for themselves? They're a five year old not quite working farm. He is a slick piece of work. If he raises 24K in as many hours, is he going to share? I unsubscribed, I was only there for the permaculture and cats.
@@aquariusrizing no the money is for the farmers and he is not the one getting it.
@@californiadreaming567 Okay, my bad. I looked for his intentions in the description. It would've been handy if he'd made that clear. Maybe I just caught him on an off hour, but be was reading his book and I let it run for a little while and didn't hear that clarified.
@@aquariusrizing Everyone just kept asking him to read the book. So he did one chapter but they kept asking for more, more, more, more sp later he did another chapter.
What a beautiful beardy.
What is the importance of trees in the forests in this tragic time?
The tree filters the air from all poisonous substances like carbon dioxide, producing oxygen to help humans exist. Carbon dioxide is as essential as oxygen; They sustain life. When there is too much of it in the air, it becomes poisonous in physical life. Carbon dioxide comes primarily from the Fossil fuel. Carbon dioxide is created when the combustion of fossil fuel in the car reaches over 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. There is too much heat coming from all your vehicles. After that, it is deposited in the air from the workers going back and forth to work. Humans need to understand that whatever they do does not disappear in the air, but it stays and converts into other elements. If what you do is within the commandments of God, it will result in life, and you will live. If it is not within the commandments of God, it will result in sickness and death. The greatest threat now to human life is the sources of oxygen. Our trees are being burned down by wildfires and destroyed by illegal logging. Oxygen will get depleted. There will be a famine of food from too much heat from the sun. The food supply will not be able to sustain billions of people in the world. Human life will diminish.
Your LAST HOPE to save the trees is obeying Moses's Law. What is in the Law of Moses? Man is to farm only natural food so that there may be abundant food on earth. Women have to stay home and take care of their elderly parents and become teachers of children. They cannot do this unless governments and banks set them free from all sorts of debts and give them farming land to start farming life. You can see the result of the coronavirus; men and women stayed home, pollution was disappearing in the atmosphere instantly.
Leviticus 19:22-25
When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as uncircumcised. Three years it shall be as uncircumcised to you. It shall not be eaten. But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, a praise to the Lord. And in the fifth year you may eat its fruit, that it may yield to you its increase: I am the Lord your God.
Above all, Mount Zion, the City of the Great King, Lord Jesus Christ, has to be rebuilt with a temple. It is the only place where the people in the world shall gather to learn about obedient life based on the Law of Moses.
Isaiah 2:3
Many people shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
Lord Jesus Christ sent me, the daughter of Zion, to save His people from the end of the world of Gentiles by guiding them to the way of life as in the days of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is the only way to live a peaceful life without troubles such as natural disasters and sickness. Holy prophets of Israel prophesied my appearance on earth.
Isaiah 63:9
In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the Angel of His presence saved them; In His love and in His pity He redeemed them; And He bore them and carried them all the days of old.
Jeremiah 6:16-19
Thus says the Lord: "Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, 'We will not walk in it.' Also, I set watchmen over you, saying, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But they said, 'We will not listen.' Therefore hear, you nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. Hear, O earth! Behold, I will certainly bring calamity on this people- The fruit of their thoughts, Because they have not heeded My words nor My law, but rejected it.
I am writing a book called 'The Only Way to Escape Death and Hell' by Gabriel, an angel of the Lord---Maria Riah. It is not to make me rich but to instruct His people about holy life and rebuilding the City of Lord Jesus Christ, Mount Zion, Heavenly Jerusalem. I hope in Christ; It will be published very soon.
The Spirit and the bride,
Daughter of Zion,
Gabriel, an angel of the Lord
Mount Zion Heavenly Jerusalem
I love how they say 1000 yr storm. Who was there then keeping track of the weather?
Computer models are always wrong.
I don’t do math so definitely not me
its bad when people are happy during post apocalyptic conditions
I think part of it is shock
i dont live too far away in Massachusetts's its been one of the wettest summers i can remember.
It was a strange year. Didn’t visit at all for winter storms. Been in New England twice in a week for rain 🤷♂️
❤❤
Wow it's BAD
Can’t believe it’s already been a month
Hi
I wonder if they recently removed any dams in the area.
Not that I am aware of
Vermont
I sent an email to Bernie.
Didn't know they had volcanoes in Bangladesh.

Really sad. But...if you live a flood zone, and keep getting flooded..why are you still there? These business's have been flooded multiple times but just keep paying their expensive insurance and getting flooded every few decades or sooner? Definition of insanity. More to come unfortunately hopefully people wise up and move to higher ground.
It’s hard to change
My thoughts are as I watch your important reporting is that now the rest of the US seems to be experiencing what we on the gulf coast have been experiencing for years and definitely in my lifetime has progressed. I knew that nobody in the North would take climate change seriously until it physically reached them and so it now has in every state and hollow and mountain stream valley
Or township devastatingly so we are in the same “boat”. My fear is that it’s too late to change our ways. I cringe when I see the mistake everyone is making wading through polluted waters! They can’t imagine what’s in there. Oil, gas, chemical pollutants and Bacteria. We are all having to learn the hard way. And this will be the new normal. we are exhausted here from each new event each year until I felt we needed to leave and go north. But where is there a safe place anymore anywhere? All I know is that i am currently living on the leading edge of it and my warning to everyone is to be alarmed enough to change our thinking and our ways if it’s not too late. Speaking from repeated experience it will happen again and again with alarming frequency in your lifetime. I sort of have to laugh when I read comments like Vermonters saying they need flood control and move to higher ground. I am only 20 ft above sea level so what is Vermont? Don’t think there is any higher ground from where you guys are except the alps maybe. We need better climate change legislation. That’s the only thing that will save us ultimately. Nothing will save you from three months of rainfall in a 24 hr period anywhere on earth!!
Thanks for watching

Flood insurance must be so expensive
Insurance everywhere and every kind is getting out of hand :(
One in a thousand-year flood every other year now.
Certainly seen a lot of them
@michaelrapson that's because your Government controls the weather... (HAARP)... There are 5 of them strategically placed across the globe..
strategic relocation +1?
Never ever ever ever EVER walk in flooded water. There could be animals swimming in there that could kill you and there is sewage mixed in that water.
This is coming from experience as a Houstonian. Just don't so it.
I always pack my waders
I have been trying to get the Deparment of the Interior to put asystem in place to elither elliminate flooding or at least minimalize it. No one listens the past 60 years of me complainging about lack of flood control. Oh well.
Someone told me once there is more money in rebuilding after a disaster rather than preventing one.
I dont think they got the Federal help they need fast enough.
👍
