This is the cat you are looking for.

This is the cat you are looking for.

Reminds me of two of our now long passed tabbies, Heathkit and Collins.

Nice well-defined stripes on that tiger there.

That's him, Boomer's doppelganger in jumbo size. I see he's growing into his feet!

I'm still in the loop for FEMA/VEM and get SITREP info for consulting purposes, can't post much of it here but the press info is or will be common knowledge. Seems there are no more isolated towns, though 11 still have only emergency traffic for food, health, etc. Down to 6000 ppl without power. 64 road segments closed, 25 bridges closed. New England Central RR has a total of 5 miles of track missing between Montpelier and Randolph. Roughly 20% considering it's about a 25 mile run. Other RR damage too.

Talked with Mr Mike today, he's fine and said it didn't even rain hard where he is, but there was a lot of flooding damage nearby. Looks like most of the state is fine, though some areas have severe flood damage. No wind damage to speak of.

Yea, he's a tiger. Lots of fun.

Stilll 143k people w/o power in the VA Dominion Power service area. That's out of total amount of customers of 2.4 million, so they are getting there - about 6% to go.

Was talking with one of my clients in VT tonight who works near the Randolph area. He mentioned a local garage off Main street below the new bridge, 10+ feet above the normal river area. He said the vehicles and garage had 3 feet of mud and silt in them. For that river to come up that much says there was an enormous amount of water in a short amount of time. That branch is wide, too. My place there is well up on the hill, fortunately.

We were lucky indeed!

No basement here to get water in....
But we had water within 2" of flowing over the floor...

7.65 inches of rain.

Power and phone were out for over 103 hours.
Got those back last night at 6:50pm

Major road damage all over the state...
Some main roads will likely not get repaired until Spring.
Many town owned roads may not get fully repaired for a year.

This is in Granville Vermont....

ran the generator for 1 1/2 hours or so at a time 3 -4 times a day to keep 2 chest freezers and a refridge cold, get drinking water etc.

National Guard was making food and water drops a couple hundred feet up the road.


Was quite an interesting few days!
