Parts of Vermont experienced minor flooding on Saturday as thunderstorms traveled through the state.
The National Weather Service’s Burlington office had heard reports of flooding in Irasville as well as washed out roads in Waitsfield and Warren.
A flash flood warning was in effect until 8:30 p.m. Saturday for parts of Addison, Orange and Washington counties, according to the weather service.
As of 7:08 p.m., the state had seen 1 to 2 inches of rainfall. By 8:23 p.m., the weather service reported that the heavy rain had ended and no additional flooding was expected.
There were 2,663 customers without power as of 8:35 p.m., with Woodstock and Hartford being the hardest-hit areas, according to VTOutages.
The weather service urged people to observe road closures and “turn around, don’t drown” if people come across high water or flooded roads since more than half of all flood-related drownings occur in vehicles.
Although rain is forecast for much of the state over the next week, the weather service does not expect hazardous weather Sunday through Friday.
A representative from the weather service’s Burlington office was not immediately available to comment.
