We had a message and photo from Bob Kimball on Channel Drive today. That road lived up to its name after the heavy rain on Sunday. This is Channel Drive on Monday! (Click on the image to make it larger.) I hope the folks who live out on that road had their kayaks and canoes handy. Bob told us there was from one to two feet of water over the road. Hopefully it receded without doing much damage. Thanks, Bob for sending the picture. It reminds us that even though Green Mountain Power had the rubber dam in West Danville is as open as it can be, because of the restrictions imposed by the state to protect the wetlands in this area, the level cannot be let down enough to accommodate all the water coming in from the hills surrounding the pond. I suspect more than one wildlife family was displaced by high water Sunday night.Tuesday, July 21, 2015
