"And was pretty much the first one down here. Was here at about 2:30, 3:00 this morning, here, and woke up to boulders rolling down the road, more or less. Barely able to get these people out and what they needed for medication wise before the house broke off, and it … and water was coming down. Down at the next house down was just as bad. I was able to get her woken up and get her out of the house as well. And everybody was, you know, in good shape and no … no lives lost. Just just more or less material now at this point. So, definitely, definitely a wake up call for sure."

"I think our fire department started getting calls around one this morning. I know the police chief … the fire chief was out checking places. He called me at about three-ish, 3:00, that’s when we opened up our EOC. Most of the flooding or most of the rainfall came early, early morning. It was pretty intense straight through until about 3:00, 330."

STORYLINE:
Heavy rain has caved in roads, forced some homes off their foundations and led to about two dozen rescues in northern Vermont.
It happened nearly three weeks after many farmers and residents in the state were hit by flooding from the remnants of Hurricane Beryl.
The National Weather Service in Burlington says some areas got 6 to more than 8 inches of rain starting late Monday and saw flash flooding.
Flood warnings were in effect through Tuesday afternoon.
Most of the rain fell in St. Johnsbury and surrounding areas, about 35 miles northeast of the state capital of Montpelier. More rain was possible in the region.
