This morning’s 2-3 inches of heavy rain, acting in consort with a summer’s worth of wet weather, have led to closed roads and evacuations in Middlebury.
According to WCAX-TV in Burlington, Route 53 along Lake Dunmore and Route 125 between Route 116 in East Middlebury and Route 100 in Hancock are closed due to flooding. The Burlington Free Press also reports that water is in the road on Route 7 in East Middlebury, but did not report a precise location. Residents of Lower Plains Road and Tucker Hill Road have been evacuated to an emergency shelter set up by the Red Cross.
Be sure to check out the WCAX site for some wild photos of the East Middlebury River overflowing its banks onto Route 125.
