(Waterbury, VT) – Says it all…

The town of Waterbury is apparently submerged right now. Tweets are rolling in that the town is being evacuated.

Other towns in Vermont are experiencing flooding as well. CNN has an iReport up with video of a raging river in Brattleboro (the southern part of the state).

The latest from a local Fox News affiliate… “Vt. State Police say the state’s emergency command center in Waterbury has been evacuated. They say the new location is in Burlington. We don’t know where specifically. We are working to gather that information.”

The state hospital is also located right next to the river and had to be evacuated.

To illustrate how unexpected the magnitude of the flooding was, The Alchemist Pub tweeted earlier in the afternoon that they would re-open on Monday at 4pm.

The brewery has received national recognition in some beer circles for a popular IPA called Heady Topper. The Alchemist just announced last week the upcoming release of Heady Topper cans. Anticipation for the beer has been evident in beer forums. The Alchemist Cannery is at an off-site location far away from the river though it is unclear how this impacts the cannery.

Thoughts are with the Kimmich family and others in Vermont tonight…
