Irene

The following are images I've captured over the past week following Tropical Storm Irene's impacts on the region.  I'd like to send a special thanks to our dear friends Greg and Sue, as many of these pictures were taken at their home and are being shown here with their permission.  Greg and Sue's situation is a nutshell example of what thousands of Vermont residents are dealing with RIGHT NOW.  If you are able, please find a way to help.

Mucking below grade.  Water was 6 feet higher than our heads down here.

Piece by piece, bit by bit.

Tools of the trade.  

Cheer amidst heartbreak.
