The flooding of July 10-11 has apparently caused at least one fatality: a Peacham motorist, state officials told press this morning.
A body was found in a car swept away by the floods. Authorities have yet to determine if flooding, or some other reason, was the cause of death.
The rains fell most of the day yesterday and last night. Flash flooding was seen in many towns in Washington, Orange and Caledonia counties.
“It’s not lost on us the irony of the floods hitting us on the same exact day in many of the towns as the flood did last year…we are ready, our response and tools are even better than they were last year,” said Governor Phil Scott.
Public Safety Commissioner Jennifer Morrison gave the press a blow by blow account on the worst of the flooding: Moretown, Plainfield, Lydonville, Williamstoon, Bolton, and Barre were hit the hardest. The Winooski river won’t crest until later this evening, she warned.
There is one report of an unconfirmed flood-related fatality, likely to be from Peacham, however the exact cause of death is at this time unknown. It appears that someone died in a vehicle that was swept away in water, officials said. But authorities will conduct an autopsy to determine whether (for example) the victim suffered a heart attack before the flood carried away the car.
Seven towns experienced purposeful sewage Treatment Plant overflow releases: Rutland, Middlebury, St. Albans, St Johnsbury, Montpelier, and Burlington
Tom Lauzon, the Mayor of Barre, spoke today about the damages in his downtown and he said: “Water rose very very quickly in the course of maybe an hour and a half. It’s tough, it’s tough to watch. I stand here a bit discouraged, but I am very proud… As I stand here today, and I am sure everyone is hard at work and we are getting this done… I know we’re all going to take care of each other.”
Flood financial impact less than last year
“It doesn’t appear to have the magnitude on a financial standpoint as the flood did last year,” said Governor Scott.
When asked about federal help: “We will have to see… I would assume there would be some public assistance along with federal,” said Governor Scott.
Secretary of Transportation Raymond Flynn reported 54 state roads are closed, with 6 bridges damaged. There is significant rail damage in Middlesex on the Amtrak line.
VDC asked Governor Scott, “In the wake of persistent flooding in Vermont, a growing number of our readers and Vermonters are concerned about Geoengineering, persistent weather and climate modification appearing in the skies above Vermont, do you have any comment on that?”
His reply:
“Climate change is real, and we all need to come to grips with that, no matter your political persuasion, and deal with it. We need to build back, stronger, safer, and smarter than we have before. From my standpoint I think these events are caused by carbon emissions… and we need to prepare for what’s going to continue over the next number of years, regardless of what our strategy is to counteract that… We need to increase the capacity to store the water during these intense storms…”
The Vermont Army National Guard is involved with multiple secondary helicopter rescues, Scott said.

🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Hurricanes and heavy rain and weather are caused by carbon emissions? Really?
Is this part of yesterday’s satire piece that suggested Joe Biden might exit the stage into a professorship?
I’m sorry, but in the midst of such tragic devastation and loss to our neighbors throughout Vermont, is this non-sequitur really what our governor has to say?
I couldn’t believe I read that! Trees are the greatest carbon neutralizer we have and we have plenty. Saturated ground no matter what’s growing on it is still saturated ground. Water will continue to run downhill forever.
Carbon is an essential element for all life forms on Earth so, logically, carbon cannot be the cause.
However, geoengineering is observably real and is the most plausible explanation for strange weather patterns.
As we know, clouds neither historically nor naturally play tic tac toe across our skies.
Yup!

You notice Governor Scott did not mention anything about geoengineering or even that weather manipulation is even taking place in this state. He is in denial??? His only comment/solution is that we need more ways/dams/water towers?? to store the excess water???? Oh and that the flooding was caused by carbon emissions??? Really governor when Vermont has the lowest carbon emissions in the whole 50 states!!!! Do you really think we are all that stupid?? Stop being a water carrier for the democrats who are trying to destroy our state and our way of life. You gre up in Barre, right??? Have you seen pictures of Barre today??? There’s a body in a car found not identified yet!! My husband left hours ago to help business again to muck out the water and mud. These are probably people you know! You maybe grew up with. Businesses I am certain you don’t want to see close!!!!
Look into geoengineering/weather manipulation at vdc. It’s been happening for years and it’s time for you to acknowledge it and make an attempt to address it.
Build back better is not building berms, just feeding crooked Joe Biden and his crackhead son Hunter. I think we all confer to dredging the rivers and building berms, maybe then the fish and aquatic life will return, common sense, will you ever return?
The Hunga-Tonga volcano explosion of Spring 2023, the largest ever recorded, put 10% of the total normal amount of water into the upper atmosphere. H2O is a much more potent greenhouse element than carbon, and has additional atmospheric effects. Plenty of scientists saying it has, and will result in climactic effects greater than any theoretical carbon effects for the next few years.
body swept away//// more population control///
This was a hurricane remnant, we are one month into hurricane season. Just the bad luck of the draw. Anyone calling this carbon related is selling “snake” oil.
You’re right John, but our skies were sprayed prior to its arrival to fuel the atmosphere. A good book to read is: Chemtrails Exposed A New Manhattan Project by Peter A. Kirby or look at the website geoengineeringwatch.org
Where was the car found? Article said he was from Peacham but that doesn’t mean that’s where he was found. And the AOT Secretary is Joe Flynn not Raymond

In other words: crickets on geoengineering, it’s the elephant in the room that no one in power will ever acknowledge!

From a Christian world view, ‘affliction’ is that which causes pain and suffering through physical infirmity and/or mental distress. Individuals and nations can be afflicted, and that affliction is often attributed to the Lord and His punishment (Isaiah 45:7. There are at least 14 Hebrew and Greek words that are translated “affliction” in our English Bibles, and that is because affliction can have several causes and applications (both good and bad) with subtle differences not reflected by our English vocabulary.
Nations can experience affliction for many of the same reasons.
In the Old Testament, God often afflicted whole nations for their disobedience and wickedness.
The plagues in Egypt at the time of the exodus caused great affliction. One reason God brought affliction upon the nations was to purge the earth of the contamination of their wickedness.
Another reason was to teach Israel the grave necessity of following the Lord. God also quickly judged Israelites who defied Him or His appointed leaders. It was critical that Israel learn to thrive as a community set apart from the world, and insurrection would quickly destroy that unity.
Afflictions remind the Christian that this world is not our home. First Corinthians 2:9 reminds us that “no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.” When we keep our focus on that truth, we can endure any affliction.
