(AP) — A storm that dumped up to two months of rain in two days in Vermont and other parts of the Northeast brought more flooding Tuesday to communities marooned by water, including the inundated state capital, where officials kept a close eye on river levels at a dam just upstream.

The flooding has already caused tens of millions of dollars in damage throughout the state.Muddy brown water from the Winooski River flowed through the capital of Montpelier, obscuring vehicles and all but the tops of parking meters along picturesque streets lined with brick storefronts whose basements and lower floors were flooded.
