Flooding Again

Parts of downtown Waterbury are under water again.  There are photos of this all over Facebook but I don't want to share other people's photos on my blog so you'll need to find the photos on Facebook.  In addition to extensive property damage to homes that were damaged just last July, there are significant road closures mostly due to the roads being washed out.  Some of the road closures are to keep people out of the areas that are still under water.

Below is a map of northern Vermont showing the road closures.  As you can see, there is a big concentration of road closures in Waterbury.  

At the moment, the status of our barbeque scheduled for Saturday is unknown.  Liza and Whitney are both trapped with no way to get out of there immediate area.  This may change by later today or tomorrow but, for now, they cannot go anywhere.

We had some water in the house at a known roof leak.  Actually, it is a leak around the furnace flue.  Every few years I need to patch it so apparently it is time for more roof cement.  We also have a few downed branches from our big spruce tree.  We really have no damage worth mentioning though.  What we have is just a little cleanup to do.
