A state of emergency has been declared in Vermont after heavy rain caused Flash Floods, resulting in tens of millions of dollars in damage. Roads are underwater and people are trapped in their homes. One person died in New York while attempting to flee the flooding. Emergency teams from outside the region have been sent to help. There are concerns that the water could overflow a dam on the Winooski River in Montpelier, the state capital. Climate scientists warn that such destructive flooding events are becoming more frequent due to a warmer atmosphere and rising temperatures.
