The rains did the MRV in. The entire valley floor flooded like you couldn't imagine. Its worth a check on youtube and facebook (search mad river valley irene) to see videos and photos from yesterday. Lareau Farm and Flatbread were totally submerged, the water lapped up to the base of the panels on those solar trackers in the field there. Mill Brook burst its banks and flowed over rt 100 just below rt 17. The waters were flowing over the floor of the covered bridge in Waitsfield, to give you a sense of the magnitude of it. I have no idea yet how the farmers and livestock made out. [The children] are going out to see how they can help...
Elsewhere in VT, it sounds devestatitng also...our poor state! Few casualities, but lots of rebuilding to be done.
