Lots of weather issues across the country for sure.

Those flash floods can wipe out a woodcock covert in less than an hour. Hopefully to be rebuilt by mother nature for someone in the next generation...

Memphremagog will be as big as Champlain if it keeps up. Send some of it out west, please!

The utter devastation in parts of Vermont is just mind boggling.
Tornadoes are devastating too but at least you still have your land on which you can rebuild but the very earth some of the Vermonters’ houses and barns were on is washed away as well as the paved roads that led to them are gone leaving behind nothing but gorges and trenches that need to be filled in. Where is federal aid for these poor folks?? .

We're on high ground and well above any brooks and streams in the valleys. Thanks Mills.

Dean, I know that the news reports of the damage in Vermont is severe, but I can not think that they over exaggerate the actual damage. I know that roads are washed out but the natural habitat is very resilient, surviving hundred's of years of rains such as these. I will bet your covers are fine. Man made "habitat" such as roads is not natural and will be destroyed before the natural habitat that has not been touched by mans hands will be fine.

Steve - I know the natural habitat will restore itself in a matter of a few years and wildlife populations, including fish and other aquatic creatures, will come back eventually…
But peoples homes, farms, roads, businesses and their very lives may never fully recover. .
