Severe flooding in Barre, Vermont, Sunday night caused several homes to be evacuated as heavy storms rolled through the area, according to police.
Fifteen people had to be evacuated due to the flooding, according to police.
Officials say the waters have now receded and that crews will be on scene to evaluate and restore power. Thick mud has been left behind from the flooding on many downtown streets.
