Heavy rain has washed out roads and forced evacuations in the Northeast as more downpours were forecast throughout the day
Vehicles come to a standstill near a washed-out and flooded portion of the Palisades Parkway just beyond the traffic circle off the Bear Mountain Bridge, Sunday, July 9, 2023, in Orange County, N.Y. Heavy rain spawned extreme flooding in New York’s Hudson Valley that killed at least one person, swamped roadways and forced road closures on Sunday night, as much of the rest of the Northeast U.S. geared up for a major storm.
He said many roads and bridges were washed out. Officials believed everyone was accounted for, but they were trying to reach people to make sure they were OK. Vermont Gov. Phil Scott declared a state of emergency on Sunday, in advance of Monday's rain. Some campers and people caught in their homes have been rescued in central and southern Vermont, and more reports have been coming in, said Mark Bosma, spokesperson for the state emergency management office.
Vermont had some of its worst weather during Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011, when it got 11 inches of rain in 24 hours.
