right here if i can have you pan over to the police officers, although this bridge leading into wilmingtonopen, the only people getting in and out are residents, emergency crews, and people assisting in cleanup efforts. there is still not easy ways to access these towns, and that's happening in over 20 communities across the state of vermont. that's because we had a flash flood here. we're not talking about these people having time to prepare. here, at dot's restaurant, you see the tin roof. within eight hours this river rose up to the height of the roof and flooded across here, and the rising happened instantly, and it fell down and it all swept in town within an eight-hour time span. a lot of people did not have time to get belongings out of businesses and homes. was saw in the story, some of them unfortunately, did not have flood insurance. >> thank you, amber, forgiving us a good look at what they are facing there. >>> venus williams withdraws from the u.s. open. she says she is too sick to continue playing. we will have the latest on her condition. hires another employ, it's not just

she's in wilmington. what is the view from there?re in the center of town, this is the main bridge giving access to this community and this exemplifies the problem across the state as road crews rush to return some sense of normalcy. when floodwaters came through the waters took out the bottom, the foundation and here all the way to that orange cone that area is unstable and that happened all over the state so road crews have to replace the asphalt and foundation. if you look at asphalt it can only be laid down in certain temperatures. when it gets too cold out they can no longer replace roads. here in this town, 1,800 people and i was sitting at a cafe today talking to a man who says i want you to know, amber, this was a flash flood. we did not have any type of a warning that this water was coming. within eight hours this river over here crested all the way to the bottom, this tin part of dot's restaurant, so you're looking at 30 feet there within eight hours it rose and then dropped and business owners here did not have time to mov

so philadelphia, wilmington, delaware, baltimore, maryland, and an event at the lincoln memorial were all designated as nsses. as we look at our budget, we realized that the money that we had for the campaign, the transition in the inauguration was not going to support these for nsses. we notified the department of that challenge and let them know we needed to do a reprogramming. you know, one point i do want to be clear on, you know, we did not overspend from overall budget, what happened was we had to take money out of one protection line account and put it into this nsse account. so we took it from one protection account and put it into another protection account. unfortunately, we did not -- i written notification of this was not sent up to congress. and thus we were given this violation. some of the things we have done in the meantime is that we do have more frequent interaction with the dhs budget shop on this particular issue. there is a lot more oversight internally, and internal, internal controls that budgetary controls we have to monitor the budget. but i will tell you, con

we have seen in the southern part of the state, in wilmington, for example, the entire business district severely damaged. i have seen in central vermont a mobile home park almost completely wiped out with people who are in their 80's now having to look to find new places in which to live. i have seen a public housing project for seniors down in brattleboro severely damaged. a lot of seniors there are now having to find new places to live. we have been through the state office complex in waterbury, the largest state office building in the state housing 1,700 vermont workers, the nerve center of the state. devastated. nobody is at work there today. we have seen hundreds of bridges and roads destroyed, and right now as we speak there are rains coming in the southern part of the state, causing more flooding, more damage. we have seen a wonderful gentleman from rutland lose his life because he was doing his job to make sure that the people of that area were protected. so we have seen damage the likes of which we have never seen in our lifetime, and, mr. president, what i would say -- and i k

i was down in wilmington, a beautiful town in the southern part of the state on route 9. virtually their entire downtown business community has been severely, severely damaged. and that is clearly undermining the fabric not only of the economy of that town but of towns throughout the state. madam president, our amtrak and freight rail services were completely suspended as tracks literally washed into rivers. so we had tracks under water. the state's largest office complex is located in waterbury, vermont, a few miles from our capital, montpelier, and i visited that facility. it had been completely flooded. there are 1,700 people who work there and for a small state, that is a lot of people. 1,700 people who work in our major office complex in waterbury, that has now been shut down for an indefendant -- indefinite it. that impacts the state's ability to provide services to the state of vermont. madam president, at least 65 public schools were impacted and could not open on time. school is just beginning but 65 public schools were not able to open on time. and this is just
