Thanks for the flood photos, Terry. Helpful to see the "after" clean-up pix too.

Yes. I'd like to do some of those--especially because they are likely to involve more people.

Thanks. I pretty much escaped since i live up high. But many people will have a hard filthy slog cleaning up.

Cellar had twenty inches of water yesterday, almost gone today. Two trees fell into the lake and will be difficult to remove. The lower garden is destroyed but we're doing better than many other Vermonters.

Doesn't sound wonderful. I have an excess of lettuces if you want any.

I can’t believe Scott and I were shopping at the dispensary there a couple of days ago. That bridge shot is great - I hope you didn’t endanger your life to get it.

So glad you escaped damage

NBC and other commercial TV networks describe these extreme weather events yet almost never allow the words "Climate Change" to slip out. Are they in cahoots with the fossil fuel sponsors, or afraid of offending the deniers. In either case they are either dishonest or cowards.

PBS, on the other hand, is quite direct about the links between these disasters and CC.

We went from climate change doesnt exist to it's so late to do anything about it.

Oh it's so good to hear from you! I have been really concerned in the silence. I lament the drought in western colorado but that much water is devastating. ☹

And Tomo too!

I always think about the wild animals and street critters too when these traumatic events happen. It's just so precarious, isn't it?

The rescue crews brough pet carriers, but some livestock were lost around the state.

Yeah it's inevitable. I read about the owner of a cat cafe breaking a hole into the basement so the water could go down and not drown her 50 or so kitties. It was successful.

Hard to grasp the destruction and loss. People and wild life of all sorts dead or displaced and if they survive disoriented. Floods can change everything and impacts last into the future. Lives are forever changed.
