Vermont's Great Flood

In November 1927, Vermont faced the worst natural disaster ever to befall the rural state. A huge flood destroyed over 600 farms and hundreds of businesses. The loss of track and trains made it the worst disaster in railroad history. The floodwaters reached 18 feet high! Archival footage and interviews with survivors tell how Vermonters persevered.

Wow. I never knew that about my favorite state. Such a huge disaster. Thanks for posting!

The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior . . . Vermont is resilient and it's people so strong, and like 1927 we will overcome this disaster too. Many heartfelt prayers for the people of my state.

My heartfelt prayers for the people of vermont. I have survived three of these floods in colorado but now find myself trying to move back to vermont. I wish I were there now to help but it will be a few months. Hopefully, this transplant returning to vermont will be accepted. I hope to contribute to my new home in any way I can.

I am a born & raised Pennsylvanian & we then moved to a small town in Montgomery County. When it rained the small innocent
creek behind our home, then became a raging river. It was too much to handle so we then moved again to another Montgomery
town 45 minutes further north. We were near a reservoir, but way in back of it, so if the stone structure ever broke, we were not involved in it at all, as we lived on the hill & thank God for gravity.

There’s an old film done way back then ,movie of different towns on Connecticut river showin how it was back then, Windsor bein one,maybe search fer it you’ll find it, Springfield and Bellowsfalls too was in it too I think,, watched it I have!

[@jaynewman1821]

Floods are 1 of the most scariest phenomenon's that do happen
& when it does it is literally a nightmare beyond man's control.

Hard to understand with the music in the background especially the piano

Piano mix makes this unwatchable. Nice effort, but needs technical improvement. Thanks.
