The rope swing is still there

My parents fled the white river to my sisters condo on sugar hill. We were able to drive up there. Hard to say how they will get down tomorrow. The water should go down as fast as it came up, but much of the road by the bridge caved in and I am worried it may be unpassible. I heard the west hartford bridge is also getting hit. Just need to wait until the morning and see.

The bridge is still there, but its in BAD shape. Barely hanging on and the roadway is gone leading to it

It's going to be a very expensive clean up. Hang in there VT!

Poor Vermont. I'm a upstate NY'er who spent 14 summers(yes...summers) of my life in VT(Ludlow) on Lake Rescue and part of my heart is in that state. I am now out in CA and I hope things don't get worse. This is very sad to see. Beautiful state, Great people... If I was close I'd be heading up there to help.

vtirene.crowdmap.com is a web site trying to use volunteer mapping to quantify damage from Irene! its easy to use. upload pictures and video there too so it can be geographically referenced

@robert19lgg nawh brother, its not that they getting all the attention. Its that they never get that up there and now that they did, they don't know how to act. We do down here. Shit you know Texas would've sat in the front porch with a lonestar in one hand talking bout are them ribs done! LOL! Northerns ain't prepared for weather like that. That's all

[Robert Gottschalk]

The north is getting all the attention but Texas get hit harder every year and 1000 people died in Ike and my house was seriously damaged 4 times and one hurricane the northeast gets every body seems to care now
