Brattleboro, Vermont (CNN) -- Floodwaters brought by Tropical Storm Irene began to recede Monday in Vermont, but the governor warned that further flooding and loss of life are likely ahead for the small, rural state.

"It's just devastating," Gov. Peter Shumlin said Monday. "Whole communities under water, businesses, homes, obviously roads and bridges, rail transportation infrastructure. We've lost farmers' crops," he said. "We're tough folks up here but Irene ... really hit us hard."

Hundreds of people remained trapped Monday in communities cut off by raging floodwaters that washed out or otherwise damaged 263 roads and bridges, Shumlin said. Exactly how many were stranded remained unclear, he said.

"It's hard for us to know, frankly, because it's hard for us to get into the communities we need to get to," he said.

Highlighting the transportation problems, the Vermont National Guard had to travel through neighboring Massachusetts to get rescue crews to the small, cut-off town of Wilmington, the governor said.

One death had been confirmed as a result of the storm. The fatality occurred in Wilmington, where a woman who was standing near a river died after she was swept away by floodwaters. Her body has been recovered, according to authorities.

"I can say with confidence that there's further loss of life," Shumlin said, adding that authorities are searching for several missing people.

Gee, those sky high taxes should have been used on more extensive prep work for responding to inevitable disasters, eh Gov?

How often does Vermont get hit by hurricanes.

Obviously you still have nothing to add to this forum other than idiocy.

Back on filter you go.

I said DISASTERS.

And as I noted, I don't give a shit if you filter me, DUMBASS.

This is a good reason 'why'. Make shit up, attribute it to me, pretend it has 'meaning' is so old.

Now, run along gooey. You have only slightly more credibility than the often fired dwarf.

The 'state'?

Thats a Democrat/liberal controlled entity, has been since January of 2007, Mac.

Please make a note of this, and the fact I've had no use for it since August of 2006, when the GOP majority and administration disgusted me with its 600 - 800 billion dollar deficits.

btw, you will note I've been consistent on defict spending for five years now, unlike the leftwingnuts here who were 'against it before they were for it' lmao

YOu asserted in the post previous to this I was some kind of rep of 'the state'.

So yep, I DEFINED it clearly for you, because the comment was ridiculous given my views, and the posts since 06 that back them up.

No confusion HERE.
