Some outstanding photos of damage in VT

Thanks for posting that link SAS, those are really amazing photos.
It really is sad how much damage was done in parts of Vermont due to the flooding from Hurricane Irene.
I'm really glad that the area I live and work in only had minor damage.
I'm glad to see you and Cookiebaker posting and that neither one of you had much damage from the storm.

Oh how terrible! I am so sorry for all the people who lost their homes and their work.

There was devastation as close as 10 miles away from our house to the SE, S, E, N, and NW. But for some reason, (even though our house borders a river), we had NOTHING. No wind, no real rain to speak of (heavy rain in the morning for a couple of hours) and then just a fine mist all afternoon. I ended up going for a 5.5 mile walk that afternoon, and didn't even see one single fallen tree. So we had NO idea what was going on just a few miles from us until we turned on the news that night, and were shocked. I'm glad that you both, VTcat and SAS, are safe and made it through, too!

So sad to see the destruction in such a beautiful State.Talk about the
differences in too much water there, with no rain for months in Texas,
Mother Nature seems fickle. I've often wondered, if we can build oil pipelines
from the far north to anywhere else in the country, why can't we build
pipelines for water to send it to another part of the country that needs it?

Stunning pictures, but it's sad to see all the damage. I hope some of the destruction is able to be repaired.
