A portion of Laurel Avenue, Wells Street and Hyde Street in Bellows Falls remained flooded into Friday morning due to a large culvert being blocked by debris, sending several feet of water into the neighborhood, swamping cars and basements.
An ice jam loosened on the Deerfield River in Wilmington when heavy rainfall occurred. Flooding resulted, beginning around 19:30 EST Saturday, and affected the lower levels of an apartment building, a bar and restaurant, and the parking lot and racquetball court of a motel.
