Communities in rural parts of Vermont on Friday woke up once again to damaged homes and washed-out roads due to heavy rainfall and flash flooding, making it the third consecutive summer that severe floods have inundated parts of the state.

Water from rising rivers separated homes from the foundation in Vermont.

Of particular concern was the east branch of the Passumpsic River at East Haven, which, starting around 3 p.m., rose over 4.5 feet in about two hours. By 5:30 p.m., levels began to recede.
