- Historic Flood [Stuck in Vermont 694]
Across the state, torrential rain and flash flooding caused destruction and chaos this week. Vermonters posted videos and photos online of their battered towns, overflowing rivers and deteriorated roads. Seven Days senior multimedia producer Eva Sollberger was in Burlington filming the raging Winooski River at the falls and crowdsourced videos from around the state. Thousands of homes and businesses have been affected, and many roads are still impassable, stranding people around the state.
On Tuesday, Sollberger checked in with Jeremy Ayers by phone. Ayers’ family home and pottery studio in Waterbury flooded in 2011, and Sollberger covered the recovery efforts in a video. On Monday, a group of friends helped prepare the Ayers’ house for the flood by moving everything off the first floor and clearing out Jeremy’s pottery studio. Although the water level was lower than during Irene, flooding in their basement destroyed their new furnace, hot water heaters and electrical panel - which means the family of four can’t return home for at least a month.
She also Zoomed with Mickey Myers, who has lived in Johnson for 20 years. Myers’ house was undamaged by the floodwater, but she is hosting four family members whose home was ruined. Myers is also worried about Johnson’s Sterling Market - the only grocery store in town - which was underwater. The building suffered extensive destruction and the owners have no immediate plans to reopen.
Samara Styles posted video updates from her home in Barre, where she has lived for one year with her husband and young daughter. Sollberger spoke to Styles via Zoom about her flood experience. Styles’ house narrowly escaped the rising water, but other houses on her block were not as lucky.
On Wednesday, Sollberger Zoomed with Tom Rogers of Stowe Mountain Rescue about his harrowing experience helping people evacuate Barre, Berlin and Middlesex on Monday. Downtown Barre’s streets were filled with rising water, and Rogers described the chaos of the scene. He estimated that his team rescued more than 30 people.
Finally, Sollberger spoke with Bob Ray over the phone. Bob and his wife Kim Ray have lived in South Londonderry for decades. The couple had flooding in Irene, but this water was much higher and threatened their home. They posted online about their efforts to construct a barrier around their house using sheet metal and pitchforks. Amazingly, the rain stopped, and their home was spared. Sollberger spoke to them about the recovery efforts in their area, which was hit hard.
Vermont has not seen a historic flooding event like this since Tropical Storm Irene in 2011. And in some areas, the damage is thought to be worse. Before that, the flood of 1927 wreaked destruction across the state. And we are not out of the woods yet. More rain is expected, and the clean up will be ongoing. Be safe, everyone.

Thank you for putting this together to let the rest of the world know.
I love Vermont! It took me 44 years to finally find my home in Brattleboro, Vermont. I love my home! Sad to see that wonderful sculpture get swept away. Great video, thank you.
in 1938 Brattleboro was Hit Hard by the Great new england Hurricane with wind gusts believe it or not of 150mpr. The Hurricane was Named (The Montreal Express). The Hurricane was starting to go out to sea from the Carolinas and drifted 500 miles out into the Atlantic as meteorologists were positive it was gone out to sea. a day later it started drifting north and when it was about 300 miles from New York. then a high-pressure system turned its Course straight northwest Ramimg into Connecticut with the EYE WALL racing up the Conn-river Valley at 60mpr as a cat 3 and why they used the Montreal Express. at these speeds, this Hurricane had no chance to die out but very slowly. this caused this wind gust in Brattleboro for 4-5 hours of sustained winds of around 70mph. every tree on high street Elliot Street was laying side by side in the streets. Mount W used to have nothing but white Birch Trees the Keene Sentinel Shows a photo of the west side as the trees looked like toothpicks laying flat towards the south. Flooding was Catastrophic with Millions of trees Flattened and many homes taken away blown down or windows blown out. of course the great 1927 Flood. Brattleboro Had its better Days for sure. WE ARE OVER DOO? 6-700 People Lost their Life in Southern New England on that Day.
They have a farm around that makes Nice dairies
Vermont Strong!! 🌻💪
I am from Enosburg, Vermont and my prayers go out to my fellow Vermonters and New Yorkers.God bless you all in Vermont and New York.
It’s so devastating to see what’s happened here in Vermont.
Great report. Thank you for identifying the towns. I'm from Vermont and it's so sad to see all the devastation.
Geo Enginering is really changing the game!
I grew up near the John Clay creek in Washington County, Irasville. There is a reason the farmers tell stories about the "Mad," River.
Even seeing the videos and pictures it's so hard to imagine. I attended Johnson State College in 83-85' and visited a lot the towns of Montpelier, Waterbury, Barre and I still travel thru VT a lot during the winter months going to Pittsburg, NH. Its such a beautiful state but one thing I've learned going to school in VT, the locals are resilient. Incredible people.
i worked for the Grand Union in NJ back in the 70's , my heart goes out to the people who are in distress
Sending positive thoughts to all of you.
Thoes poor people! And those crazy cats!
We were in VT 2 weeks ago. VT is a beautiful state but I'm glad we got back home an we weren't stuck there. No way we could have driven from Burlington to Maryland in such conditions. Hope VT recovers quickly.
Well done.
Thank you too all first Reponders thoughout Vermont 👍👍💚
A special Thanks go's out to
Stowe mountain Rescue crew! Tom Rogers was one of five crew members around the north Barre manor area and thought out Barre City July 10th/11th doing what they had to do! Thanks again crew ❤👍👍
Thank God no loss of Life
In Vermont from this event 🙏🙏
The Vermonter Barre vt !!
They are amazing!
God Bless you ALL
So sad to see such a beautiful place under water
We need to adapt to this new gift of mother nature, but we can also try to cut back on our lifestyles, we could also slow down the rate that the enevatable changes that even denying climate change is the cause it does contrubute to this new way of our weather systems. We could do alot for issues in the world if we humble ourselves claim responsability, make changes and own it as just the best for all attitude. We can do better. GOD BLESS US ALL.
Can anyone tell if the state of Vermont, needs any volunteers to help clean up?
Or who to contact?
I am sure they will need help. More info here: m.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/vermont-volunteers-prepare-to-pitch-in-for-flood-victims/Content?oid=38640027
Trying to find out how Kyle from Trout & Coffee you tube channel is doing up in Vermont. Worried and praying. Also concerned for his parents.
🙏🙏🙏
I wish people would not stand in the water barefoot as the water is not safe due to all the chemicals from cars, trucks and farm equipment and who knows what else. I just heard from a friend in Johnson that the waster water treatment facility was totally destroyed. All the waste from that area is now going into the river untreated.
Check out the 1927 flood.
Yes and also the Great Montreal Express Named after the 1938 Hurricane With a great Loss of life, unfortunately.
Horrible.
What does Burlington Look like right now?
As of yesterday afternoon, the lake looked high, but hadn't come ashore. Unfortunately, though, the farms in the intervale flooded. I found a quote from Intervale Community Farm manager, Andy Jones. He says: "[T]here was probably a two to three acre patch in the middle of 350 acres in the Intervale that were above water during Irene," Jones said. "This time, it was maybe an acre or something."
its wet. puddles, drips everywhere!
dose any one know much about what happen in the nek area ? not seeing much on stjay or newport ?
I believe the worst damage is in the Montpelier/Barre area and Londonderry/Ludlow area. But towns like Waterbury and Johnson also got hit hard. Have not heard of flooding in St Jay or Newport.
What if yours is the only dwelling not damaged,and everyone else evacuates?
GOD'S RAINBOWS HAVE BEEN USURPED!
DEAR LORD PLEASE SEND DELIVERANCE AND REVIVAL! IN THE NAME OF JESUS! 🙏🏼
Praise the lord the earth is the lord and the fullness there of the world and they what live in it all are for God Jesus is coming soon he loves is people who are not save get saved salvation is free come to Jesus now ❤❤❤
If you own land near a river sell it, Vermont won’t fix the water ways
Oh thank God,
They finally got a good wash, sincerely the insider🎉🎉😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Start Panning for Gold like the last time.
Vermont doesn’t clean out the rivers the next event will be way worst
God says he will not come back with water but fire 🔥 next time come to Jesus now come to Jesus repent from sin people of the world 🌎
Promo SM 👏
Climate change maybe but the 1927 Food was Bad or worse plus the houses and buildings were not in such locations. The capital was flooded also. Yet Global Weather could be changing as well as Earthquakes and Wildfires. weather does repeat itself every 1-300 years . You forgot to mention the 1938 HURRICANE that Killed 700 People in NEW ENGLAND Vermont was Devastated with many killed and 1000s of Holsteins killed Buildings Flattened and ten million or more other Trees. Brattleboro area being the lowest elevated Town in the State Sustained Hurricane Cat 2-3 WIND GUST OF 150MPR and every white Birch Tree on Mount W was Flat on the ground like a Giant Rowe of toothpicks. Other major Hurricanes like Carol in 53 and Edna in others. We are well over Do? We have not been yet through this type of destruction in 90 years now and seems like the weather going straight back into the years of the 20s through the 50s was very catastrophic.
How silly.
Move to Mexico.
Prayers sent to the world from Queretaro.
Shave heads and send to Ukraine and Sudan with water with fentanyl.
Let go and let God always. Do for others.
Keep written. Audio and video journals.
Karma never loses an address. YOU reapwhat you sow.
Let go and let God always..
Stolen property that's why time to give it back
of course, it's climate change. give it a rest.
Hey everyone, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and repent, He is coming back soon.
....and your reason to post your religious beliefs on a natural disaster is....?
People are hurting and all you can do is proselytize? Get out of your chair and either send money or volunteer to clean up. As for Him coming soon. I'm 70 and this is the 17th time he is coming soon.
Stopped watching at 4:00 Why make it political. Will underserved get any clothing. Disasters are inudated with too many donations all the time.
