The Deer Hollow Brook is a river in the Granville parish east of the main Green Mountains range in Vermont . It is a left tributary of the White River .
history
The particularly heavy rainfall in the region repeatedly causes flooding and tidal waves from Deer Hollow Brook. The strongest recorded flood occurred on July 26, 1830. At that time, after several days of heavy rainfall, a landslide blocked the gorge near Moss Glen Falls and dammed the river by about 25 meters (75 feet). When the dam gave way after three days, the resulting tidal wave reached a height of around 20 meters. The tidal wave did not claim any human life because there was enough time to get to safety. The property damage - especially destroyed houses and washed away bridges - was considerable.
Sights and buildings
