For four years I traveled this road several times a week. It was a pretty good shortcut that shaved about 15 - 20 minutes on my commute to Lyndon State College. I know the road well but the damage is so extensive it took me a bit to recognize the location.
Northern Vermont has lost a lot of roads, bridges, and buildings to flooding. When you get a month's worth of rain in a day something has to give. One big problem is that the rains just aren't letting up.
Here in northern NH we've also had a lot of damage from flooding, but not quite as bad as northern VT.

My heart goes out to everyone living there. One of the hospitalists where I work was stuck at her home with her family until one of the roads could reopen.
ReplyDeleteDang. Some people had some close calls. Being stranded isn't any fun.
