BARRE, Vt. (WCAX) - Vermont Emergency Management says central Vermont is the hardest hit so far from this rain, with road closures and evacuations. Barre is underwater again.

“It’s pretty intense to see for sure,” says Barre resident John Dickson

He lives just up the road from a completely covered Main Street. It’s a nearly similar scene to last year on July 10, which he says is tough to see.

“Action needs to be taken, we need to do more, because if this is something that’s going to happen every year then it’s unacceptable, it’s something that people can’t thrive through and they can’t survive through,” said Dickson

1. Yup. Waterbury flooded again. 365 days since the last devastation.

Not as bad this year but streets and parks are covered and houses are being evacuated.
