A chasm on Turnpike Road in Norwich is leftover from recent flash flooding that left widespread infrastucture damage.

The rain keeps coming and flash floods have caused a lot of infrastructure damage around Vermont, so much so that the state is applying for federal aid. Vermont Edition explains the extent of the damage and how towns, the state and the federal government will sort out the repairs.

Our guests are Alec Portalupi, technical services engineer for the Vermont Agency of Transportation, and Erica Bornemann, director of Vermont Emergency Management.

Ric was a producer for Vermont Edition and host of the VPR Cafe.
