My understanding is that there were areas in Vermont that experienced the same type of debris flows as certain areas of the southern Appalachia. Many of the people who lost their lives did not live next to a big river. They lived next to mountain creeks that now have creek beds 2-3 times wider and many rocks and boulders that were washed down along with trees and other debris. I've found videos of houses with creeks that are usually "ankle deep" that washed out private driveways with large culverts. While some are relatively new construction, others were built over 50 years ago.I'm not saying nothing can happen in most of the northeast, but, we really don't have to be too scared what Mother Nature will do to us unless we're so foolish as to build next to the ocean or a big river
