I'm in Vermont, and I'm alive!

I don't know how many Glitchen are from up here, but if anybody else wants to check in or share news...

How about this as the place?

  • Just a little flooding, enough to relocate the substation for the entire Rt 100 valley I live in...

  • Glad you're okay, the pictures from Vermont have just been devastating to watch...  I have a friend in Barre but she's up pretty high so safe!

  • Glad to hear you are okay. Some of my friends and family are still w/o power in CT but otherwise fine.

  • So glad to know you are all fine there in Vermont. A hurricane is something serious! I kept everyone in that hurricane's path in prayer!
     I live in the high desert and we have gusts of wind  at 70 mph which is normal , summer storms
    (mannsoon) means higher winds with rain which actually makes small rivers ,when its a dry summer we have sand all over the place, in winter it runs higher, lol everyone walks with scarfs on, or your hair sticks up or sideways all the time!  We also have wild fire's in the mountains which I see as I look out the window, I mean acres and acres of fire loss.  In winter it snows and it snows side-ways due to winds! our tree's need strengthening poles to keep them upright, otherwise the palo-verde tree's grow sideways! lol, Exciting place to live!  just thought I would share!

  • Oh my goodness so sorry Vermont lost Bartsonville Bridge! It looks as though it was quite beautiful and a bridge I would have enjoyed so much to cross as well as look at! What a shame that something so beautiful would be destroyed. My heart goes out to all Vermont residents and their loss, but as you said CountFromO your alive! And there is where joy begins, yes most all are alive and ready to clean up and make Vermont beautiful again!

  • @ICount -  I spent many a Fall in Brattleboro and was pretty shocked to see the flood waters running rampant through the streets of downtown! stay dry!

  • @icount:i live in vermont, too, just north and uphill of waterbury.

    five miles makes a big difference.

    i went this week to help clean up. it's going to take a long time.

  • Icount I also am in Vermont (UVM). Fortunately the campus sustained only a bit of leaking, however I did hear about the bridge from friends who live near it :(

  • The damage to upstate New York and Vermont is devastating!  I'm glad you are all right.  It's going to take a long time for these areas to recover.

  • @flask... Waterbury sounds familiar - is that where Ben & Jerry's is?  If so, been up in that area a number of times.  Beautiful area!!!

  • ben and jerry's is indeed in waterbury, but uphill from the damage.

    don't be all excited about the ice cream anymore, though, because even though it WAS something special once upon a time, it's now just another overpriced premium brand brought to you by a huge multinational corporation.

    they still wear their maverick hippie face, but it's all unilever now. if you were there at the beginning and the middle, you know the difference.

    but if you imagine the intersection in town below the plant, yeah. people down there lost EVERYTHING.

    i was down there a couple of days ago pulling carpets and stripping out ruined drywall and throwing out everything.

    sucks pretty much.

  • Glad you're ok.  I used to live in Wilder - right next to the river.  No idea how it did in the flooding.

  • It'll still be a week before I'm connecting from anywhere other then the library, and checking anything more then emails, but so far, so good. I'm glad to have survived, and I'm glad to see others that made it.
