Vermont Schools and Highways Shut Down as Flooding Ravages State

Heavy rains in Vermont have caused rivers and roads to flood, leading to the closure of at least two schools. The National Weather Service issued flood warnings for several counties, with the Mad River and the Williams River experiencing the most flooding. While the rain is causing widespread road flooding, it is not expected to result in life-threatening flooding. Vermont Emergency Management has partially activated the State Emergency Operations Center, but no requests for help have been received yet. The main safety message is to stay off flooded roads.
