Irene, again, you were a witch

We really dodged a bullet in Northern Vermont with that storm. But the Central and Southern parts of our state did not. Roads and bridges aren't merely washed out, they are gone. In some cases, it will take years to rebuild the infrastructure that this storm destroyed.

We ended up with 7" of rain, some wind, but overall not at all what was forecast. She just didn't come this far north, and because of the direction she was turning, Mount Mansfield protected this area from the full brunt of her winds.
