A lot like the Catskills in NY. We're planning a trip through VT
next month & I was looking to see how we will get to where we're
going.

VT has a map of all their closed roads that puts a little perspective
on it-
http://www.511vt.com/default.asp?area=VT_statewide

4 roads closed on the route we usually take. It will be
interesting to see how many they can get back up in the next month.
lots of that state is 'up the mountain, down to the valley, across a
gorge, along the river, and back up again.' I

And most of their National Guard is overseas, so IL & NH are covering
for them.

We're right on the edge of the flood damage [and in an elevated spot]
- but the power company says it will be a few more days before
everyone has power restored.

Locally they are calling the flooding of the Mohawk in Schenectady a
500 year event.

The forecasters did pretty well on predicting the path early. Not
so well on intensity-- but I'd rather they erred on that side of
caution.

In New Orleans, folks are buried above ground level. After Katrina,
coffins were found in the MS. River.

Water is powerful. Las Vegas can get "flash floods". Homes tumble in
the wash. Car rescues and all that.

You did save the 'possum van

I got caught in one in LV and just about went surfing behind IP. It
came through there like a tidal wave.

Those areas are pretty much fixed. For the past 15 years, good flood
control has come around... (tax dollars)

Dare you ask? I'm ofeeeeended!

Duct taped the outside with foundation foam. Duct taped all door seams
(well, gaps, errr...make that crevices). Stuffed the underside with air
matresses and misc size leftover tires.

Disconnected battery for safety. In reality, I have to keep it
disconnected. When the key is in the whole lock spins. In the off
position somethin' is still on.

Still no inspection sticker :-( Can't find an inspector who gets liquored
up enough.

I was concerned about such a national treasure.

Okay.

Mount a 12 V disconnect switch on the dash.

Check out the female inspectors. Surely VT has women that are lumber
jacks. Maybe find some Green Mountain Boys.

one?
