Almost every river and stream in Vermont flooded, resulting in at least two deaths. In Wilmington, the flood level of the Deerfield River east branch reportedly exceeded levels measured during the 1938 New England hurricane.
Canada
On August 28 in Quebec, high winds and heavy rain from post-tropical storm Irene knocked out power to 250,000 homes, felled tree branches, and damaged some buildings and traffic lights in Montreal. One person was killed after a road was washed out and cars were swept into the Yamaska River near Sorel-Tracy; another section of road in Charlevoix was also washed out, and flooding forced evacuations in Estrie.
