Irene..your killing me

Who would have thought two Years after moving from south Carolina to Vermont..I would be sitting up in our bedroom..listening to the wind howling, rain pouring down, and watching devastating footage of this beautiful..and very far removed from any coast..state..being washed away
My childhood hometown is literally being flooded with water, bridges washed away, roads eroded
It's heartbreaking even more, because this spring, Vermont ( and NH ) went through some of the worst flooding in history.
The boys and I witnessed the devastation over the past 6 or so months on our bi weekly trips to Maine
Watched it go from destruction and devastation
To towns rebuilding, working, repairing
Water levels receding
And now, it's back and worse than ever..
I am just finding it hard to wrap my head and heart around
A tropical storm????? Here???

Anyway, my babies are safe..tucked away, fast asleep on the pump n bed in the basement with the glow of the tv from a happy movie they watched earlier in the night , glowing on their peaceful faces

We have light, we have water, and we are ok
