While the big cities dodged the bullet southern Vermont has been devastated by this storm. Our road infrastructure is being washed away including historic covered bridges that survived the 1927 flood. There is a dam in danger of breaking that would flood the most populous area of the state. So yeah, a little worse than a plastic chair knocked over.

This is route 7 the main north-south artery for the west side of the state.

This is downtown Wilmington, VT.

Exactly. I don’t have any idea why so many FReepers are being so damned smug about this storm. There are some areas on the east coast that were spared, but some, like Vermont, that have been devastated.

We will keep praying for you and those affected by this storm.

Watching the news now and there is a lot of major damage from flash flooding.

Prayers for the people of Vermont and the other damaged areas.
