Comments: The Great Vermont Flood of 1927 was a major flooding event in Vermont which occurred November 2-4, 1927. Following a very wet October, record levels of rainfall fell in early November. The U.S. Geological Survey estimated 53% of the state received more than six inches of rain, which caused rivers throughout the state to flood. Towns and villages located along the rushing streams were engulfed. Factories submerged, farm animals drowned, and homes and barns were destroyed. As the water gradually receded, it left behind a trail of eroded farm land; layers of silt, gravel, and debris; and disorganized towns. In Montpelier, which was especially hard hit, at least a foot of mud was left on floors of downtown stores. Only two stores in Montpelier carried flood insurance, where the staggering loss totaled an average of $400 for every man, woman, and child in town.
