The fraud called Irene (Cape Cod)-video

Rob,
Sri abt the mother in law. Had 5 ft of water on the old house during the flood of 82 in the lower valley shore. No fun at all. I was down in Clinton doing some food shopping and the tree damage is pretty intense. There was a guy in the parking lot of the local Stop and Shop selling small boxed generators- $3,500!!!
The XYL used the experience to clean out and completely clean the refrigerator so some good came from it.

Al,
Those photos are unreal. I had no idea of the extent of damage in VT. They tell the story

Al..

1927 was the big one in Vermont.

Of course there were many fewer roads... but they were all 'dirt' to begin with!


Irene was 'under-hyped' for vermont.

The Governor of the State downplayed the storm for a couple days afterwards.
Said " there are no towns that are completely cut-off..."

He also said his sources told him the towns with the most rainfall only got "4 or 5 inches at most"

We got 7.65 here, and a friend of mine down the state a bit got 11"!

No wind to speak of because, of course, we were on the west side of the storm.


We were without power for 4 days... but so what?
I have propane stove/ and water heater..

Generator to get water and keep the food cold.. Only ran it 4 hours a day.


All ready for the next one!

My avatar shows me standing by listening for the latest reports during the 27 storm. I was much younger then
