The remnants of Hurricane Beryl have caused significant flooding in Vermont, exactly one year after the state experienced catastrophic rainfall. Heavy rains began on Wednesday, leading to flooded roads, debris-covered areas, and washed-out infrastructure. Rescues were conducted Wednesday night, and several communities faced evacuation orders, particularly in central Vermont, which was heavily affected by last July's flooding. Barre, in particular, saw extensive flooding of roads and homes.

Beryl initially made landfall in Texas as a Category 1 hurricane, causing widespread power outages in the Houston area before transitioning into a post-tropical cyclone. The storm produced tornadoes and flooding from the Great Lakes to northern New England, keeping parts of northern New York and New England under flood watches or warnings. The National Weather Service predicted thunderstorms along much of the East Coast through Friday, warning that while the storm wouldn't be as catastrophic as the previous year, it still posed significant flash flood risks in Vermont.

Vermont Emergency Management reported several evacuations and road closures primarily in the central part of the state, urging residents and visitors to seek higher ground if necessary. Rescue teams and the National Guard were on standby. Additionally, a tornado touched down in upstate New York, causing property damage but no injuries, while another tornado in Posey County, Indiana, caused significant structural damage. Beryl has been blamed for at least seven deaths in the U.S. and 11 in the Caribbean, with power outages affecting over 1.3 million homes and businesses in Texas early Thursday.
