MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - President Donald Trump on Friday approved a disaster declaration for areas of Vermont damaged by a severe Halloween storm and flooding and ordered federal assistance to help with the recovery.
State officials had earlier estimated that the flooding and wind damage from the storm that hit on Oct. 31 and lasted into Nov. 1, 2019, caused about $5 million in damage.
The state announced in November that it had received $500,000 from the U.S. Department of Transportation to repair roads damaged in the storm.
