The West River overflows it's banks at the dam in Weston VT.
The Weston Playhouse (the white building shown in the video) sustained major damage to the basement level restaurant, Act IV Cabaret, and wardrobe, green room, dressing rooms, orchestra pit and props shop. The flood shut down their world premiere production of "Saint-Ex" destroying pianos and costumes.
Luckily no one was hurt in the flooding.

I hope the dam holds - so much effort went into restoring it.
