At first I thought "Vermont?" Since when are hurricanes a problem in Vermont?
Vermont had 13" of rain in under 24 hours. According to the radio news, that much rain in that little time, combined with the slopes of the Green Mountains to push the water downhill was the problem. It's one hill after another near Killington, and Bennington is downstream from there. Apparently northern Vermont was hammered as well. I can't say for sure, but the pictured US route 7, which spans three states and was intended in the late 1950s to become a true interstate highway, appears to be built to Interstate highway spec, and if so, would be built so as to handle the weight of tight formation military convoys, per decree of General & President Eisenhower.
A number of Vermont towns are still (Wednesday) cut off from all road traffic, and are getting supplies airlifted in by The National Guard.
