The storms dumped record amounts of rain on Vermonters in a short time.
"Well, we’re probably less than 100 feet from the river, and water came up to here, so there was about a foot of water," said Bernie Noe, who lives in Montpelier.
The flood flowed through this 160-year-old church in the city’s heart. Volunteers and business owners downtown scoured the silt and filth out of buildings and at this restaurant, including the equipment. "We've done some aerial reconnaissance, which is difficult this time of year because of our thick foliage, and then we have teams on the ground: state teams, non-profit teams, and fema teams that are on the ground and beginning the work of tallying up the damage in our community," said Jennifer Morrison, commissioner at the Vermont Department of Public Safety.
