1. Le sigh...

I’ve been in many of those cities, and it’s heartbreaking to witness such destruction. Unfortunately, the best course of action may be relocation to higher ground. Climate change will only exacerbate torrential downpours and atmospheric rivers, and I’m none too enamored of dams on streams.

2. Such devastation all around me.....

One thing I know for sure, we will help one another….as usual. Sending strength to all my fellow Vermonters out there. We’ll get through this.
