Montpelier

Vermont residents suffered from climate change-exacerbated events like torrential rains which washed out major cities such as Montpelier.

Last year, Vermont suffered a catastrophic series of torrential rains that washed out major cities like Montpelier, the state's capital, and the nearby municipality of Barre.

The Whitney Laboratory team collaborated with scientists at the Institute of Human Genetics in Montpelier, France, Cornell University and Cardiff University to complete the study.

Their stately homes—Mount Vernon, Monticello, Montpelier, and the Hermitage—are major tourist attractions.

Five months after flooding inundated Vermont’s capital, water entered the basements of some downtown Montpelier businesses as the city monitored the level of the Winooski River.
