  • The dispatcher SUCKS

  • I remember it like it was yesterday. I was terrified. I was out there visiting a friend.

  • I was listening to this traffic the night it went down. Grew up less than 1/4 from the cabin row and knew a lot of people. Really had me concerned. Geared up and moved that way; father and his fiancée at on scene almost seconds after it hit (lived on other side of lake).

    Was a horrible deal but glad to see what can happen when small town folks come together.

  • I live in Bennington

    My good friend's mom died because of it

    my FCA leader's house was totaled.

    My friend Josh took most of those photos

    and idk why that picture of the camper is on there
