Vermont has confirmed its first death related to the recent storms and historic flooding, a man who died as a result of a drowning accident in his home. It was the second flood-related death in the Northeast this week.
A firefighter from Georgia and two fathers who drowned while trying to save their children are among at least 10 recent victims of dangerous rip currents along Gulf of Mexico beaches stretching across Florida’s Panhandle to Gulf Shores, Alabama.
More rain came through the region Thursday evening. There were no reports of any flash flooding from the storm, the emergency management agency said. A tornado warning was issued for parts of the state and Vermont. There were high winds, but no confirmation of a tornado and no major damage reports. Gov. Phil Scott said it’s important for Vermonters to be vigilant, and that includes not going into the water.
Transportation officials were moving equipment to areas that were considered more flood-prone to prepare for more storms as they continued to evaluate damage, including to rail lines. Amtrak and other railroad service has been suspended.
