There are some in this forum who think this is no big deal.
To them, floods like this, and living without tap water with a house full of kids and a barn full of animals with no way to get emergency aid if you need it, is no big deal. They go through it all the time and never have a care in the world about it.
Her house is fine, but they are stuck!
I was on Long Island when it came. I was praying in my hotel while ermergency responders set up shop in the lobby. They were so happy that the winds were lower than expected. The Trees were swaying like Flags. I do not understand the rebuke of the media. I saw what I saw. I would rather be over prepared than not at all.
People are out of electricity and then it escalates like this Vermont. Sad!
so-o-o sorry!
In northwestern Maine heavy rain isolated the Sugarloaf ski resort.
Two bridges on Hwy 27 are out. One on either side of the entrance road.
One bridge is completely gone. Road between Carrabasset Valley and Stratton will be closed indefinately.
Poor native Vermonters. They had their state stolen from them by socialist hippies. Now, this. My mother-in-law lived in Vermont - all of her friends left the state in the last 10-15 years.
We just spent a beautiful week in Vermont the first week of August. It broke my heart to see this bridge go into the river. We took numerous pictures of covered bridges up near Stowe and Jeffersonville, near the Notch.
While I don’t agree with a lot of the liberal policies of the people in Vermont, I know it’s not everyone. We met some really nice conservative people who are just trying to deal with it.
And there is no way anyone should wish some kind of disaster like this upon people. Some people are just mean.
With a population of 630,000, Vermont is just a big city.
Well, we had that a fews years back with Allison...little ole’ tropical storm that dropped 37 inches of rain in Houston, TX. That little gal took out hospitals in the medical center, trapped people on their homes etc...she created one heck of a problem for Houston, TX.
The land is being returned to it’s rightful owner- mother nature. The Leftists of VT should celebrate! After all, mother nature is more effective than implementing agenda 21, and population control.
Flood Control in Vermont and northern NY State?
Are you crazy?
What the H__ is Flood Control?
We don` need no flood control!
We don want no stinkin Flood Control!
Irene is the best way to get new topsoil every 100 years.
That`s why Vermont has more cows than people and fewer covered bridges.
Isn’t it moonlight in Vermont now?
I saw some YouTube vids of my little, beloved Jamaica ...I’m so worried about our little cabin on the side of Pikes Falls.
I loved the way the folks of Jamaica rolled up their sleeves and made Rt 30 passable to emergency vehicles.
All are in my prayers and thoughts.
