Swift water rescue teams and local officials across Vermont braced for more precipitation and flooding Tuesday after persistent heavy rains drenched the state and other parts of the U.S. northeast, unleashing fast-moving waters that washed out roads, trapped residents in their homes and disrupted travel.
One person was killed in New York as she tried to leave her inundated house.
There have been no reports of injuries or deaths related to the flooding in Vermont, according to emergency officials. But dozens of roads were closed, including many along the spine of the Green Mountains.
