Our Thetford community fared well in the round of storms from 7/9-7/10/23 as compared with other parts of our state. Due to the hard work of our DPW crew, our roads are open and they continue to make emergency repairs.
There is increasing confidence that we will experience strong thunderstorms this afternoon and evening with up to 2+ inches of additional rain possible as well as strong straight line winds, 1 inch hail and cloud to ground lightning.
With these predictions provided by the National Weather service, emergency services and DPW have been notified of this risk and possibility of another Emergency Operations Center (EOC) activation if the weather is severe.
If we open the EOC, we will continue to post updates here and on social media related to any flooding, road issues etc. Life safety issues such as evacuation orders will also be posted but will also be requested to be sent through VT Alert. The State EOC issues these alerts at our request and when overwhelmed, the alerts can be delayed. When this happens, we will send our emergency crews door to door with notifications as we did on Monday.
Please consider registering for a VT Alert account and clicking Thetford for alerts.
