The massive cresting "wave" in the river where is hits a bend
Across the road...
The cresting wave...it is so high, but hard to capture on film
Across the road...
The road ahead is blocked...literally while I was typing this, a fire dept guy came and put up a caution barrier across the road.
And apparently it's another 8 hours until the rivers crest....
Kids have had fun though...and we are all safe.

ReplyDeleteWow, you can see how people can get swept away and lose their lives! Like Chelsea, I also wonder how 'the pond' in Darien is going? Have you heard from anyone in CT?

Just found this from Press Association, Tuesday August 30 2011
ReplyDelete"But to the north, landlocked Vermont contended with what its governor called the worst flooding in a century. Streams also raged out of control in rural, upstate New York.
In many cases, the moment of maximum danger arrived well after the storm had passed, as rainwater made its way into rivers and streams and turned them into torrents. Irene dumped up to 11ins of rain on Vermont and more than 13ins in parts of New York."
