The flash flooding and heavy rains from yesterday are prompting cautions from emergency officials: Water levels in Lake Champlain rose to 99.5-feet, 6 inches from flood stage. The National Weather Service has not indicated that flood stage is imminent, but property owners and those with other interests on the lake should monitor lake levels, according to VT Emergency Management.
Emergency crews were responding last night to some troubled areas where rain had left standing water or washed out some portions of road. Route 302 in Berlin was a trouble spot, and Route 108 in Stowe by Top Notch had a road washed out crews were working on both sides of Route 108 at Smugglers Notch.
