The July 2023 Northeastern United States floods, also known as the Great Vermont Flood of 10–11 July 2023 in Vermont, was a destructive and significant flash flood event occurring in the Northeastern United States from July 9 to 29, 2023. Slow-moving showers and thunderstorms produced heavy rainfall and flooding, which led to widespread damage across multiple states in the Mid-Atlantic, with the heaviest and most destructive flash flooding centered around northern New England, specifically Vermont.[2] Across the affected areas, numerous roads and bridges were washed out, and dozens of water rescues were conducted. Widespread rainfall amounts of 5 inches (130 mm) fell across the Northeast, with the maximum amount of rainfall occurring in Putnam Valley, New York, with 10.49 inches (266 mm).[3] Downtown Montpelier, Vermont was flooded, as numerous state roads around the city were closed. The flash floods caused 13 fatalities across several states and $2.2 billion in damage.
