UNDATED (AP)- 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. Vermont Emergency Management agency spokesperson says 63-year-old Stephen Davoll, of Barre, died on Wednesday (July 12, 2023). It was the second flood-related death stemming from a storm system and epic flooding in the Northeast this week. The first was in New York — a woman whose body was found after she was swept away in Fort Montgomery, a small Hudson River community about 45 miles north of New York City. More rain came through the region Thursday evening. There were no immediate reports of flash flooding.

ANDOVER, Vt. (AP) — A storm that’s left up to two months’ worth of rain in Vermont and saturated other parts of the Northeast is moving out, but more flooding is expected. It’s already cut off access to some communities, including the main approach to Montpelier, the state capital. The slow-moving storm reached New England after hitting parts of New York and Connecticut, bringing downpours, unleashing rivers from their banks and causing flash flooding in parts of Vermont and New York. One person in New York’s Hudson Valley died as she was trying to leave her home during flash flooding. Officials say the storm has already wrought tens of millions of dollars in damage.
