Vermont Storms Leave Widespread Outages

Vermont took a direct hit from brutal thunderstorms yesterday, with heavy rain, high winds, and tornado warnings rocking Rutland, Middlebury, and Montpelier. Over 20,000 homes and businesses lost power, especially in Windsor and Bennington counties, while flash floods hit Dorset and Sandgate after nearly two inches of rain fell in minutes. Crews restored power to 10,000 customers by evening, but more storms are expected Friday night through the weekend—so stay alert and keep those umbrellas handy.
