Vermont has confirmed its first death related to the recent storms and historic flooding, a man who died as a result of a drowning accident in his home.
FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, center, addresses reporters flanked by Vermont Gov. Phil Scott, left, and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, Wednesday, July 12, 2023, in Berlin, Vt. Following a storm that dumped nearly two months of rain in two days, Vermonters are cleaning up from the deluge of water.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner investigated the death, in cooperation with local police, Bosma said in a news release late Thursday afternoon. He said Vermonters are urged to continue to take extra care as they return to their homes and repair damage. More rain came through the region Thursday evening. There were no reports of any flash flooding from the storm, the emergency management agency said. A tornado warning was issued for parts of the state and Vermont. There were high winds, but no confirmation of a tornado and no major damage reports.
Gov. Phil Scott said it's important for Vermonters to be vigilant, and that includes not going into the water. Transportation officials were moving equipment to areas that were considered more flood-prone to prepare for more storms as they continued to evaluate damage, including to rail lines. Amtrak and other railroad service has been suspended.
