As seen above, Route 5 was under water in places and Slate Rock Road was completely washed out. Governor Jim Douglas came to Guilford the following day to view the damage to the town. Guilford received the worst of the flooding in Vermont. In near-by Alstead, New Hampshire, two people were killed by flood waters.
