I'm hearing the Kingsly Covered Bridge is gone or going, and the one on Upper Cold River Rd. in Shrewsbury is too. Something too about out around Quechee. I drove over the one on Upper Cold River rd. a few times a week just about, and loved the one by the grist mill in Clarendon. Hard to believe something that held up to the last great floods isn't this time...

WDEV is calling this a 500 year flood.

This is messed up......half of my town is under water, dozens of houses destroyed. Route 9 is snapped in half, route 67 is underwater. There is no way in or out of southern Vermont. Route 100 is closed as well.

Anyone know how the Somerset area was hit? The reservoir, the antique schoolhouse, etc.? Was planning on a fishing trip there this week but I'm not so sure now...

What's driving me nuts is the national media is focused on NYC, where the storm did little, when Vermont is where the worst damage seems to be.

A lot of towns seem to be entirely cut off from the outside world now. Rutland, Ludlow, etc.

Sitting here in shock in Rutland. We are very lucky to live on the high side of town, and to have electricity for now. But the city and every town around is demolished and cut off, as previously stated. The state is overwhelmed. Did you see this road travel info site?

Crazy.

Vermont's landscape is changing fast. Tomorrow begins a long haul to a new normal.

Barton is cut off too....I even had to rescue my sheep. I've been watching the weather channel and Jim Cantore is putting a lot of focus on Vt. We got clobbered!

Jesus, this is awful. I'm really hoping all you folks are ok. Everywhere else in the state seems to have gotten it much, much worse than we did. I wish you all the best.

Restoring things to the way they were yesterday is going to be very expensive and very time consuming.

Yeah, I wish I was in the NEK right now. Averill, Lewis, etc., seem very nice right now...

I'm rather shocked at the severity of this storm here. I expected something like a bad thunderstorm as usual, not this, 1927 all over again it seems like...
