Big and Tom are ok.
Last I heard the other cows that he cares for were running loose in my yard and they were ok.
Hope for Pedro.

Re: Damage at K
A quick update on the Sunrise:
[Sunrise] "went through all the...units and they came through very well. Bear Mtn Road is worse than he thought as they need rocks to fill in the holes. He expects power maybe by Friday so we can test out spray fields etc."

Re: Damage at K
I don't know what event they would've sized said pipe for, but they probably made it bigger than needed. As HS said, that pipe takes a lot of water in the spring with melt and r*in.Highway Star wrote:Putting the building in place without relocating the stream is the failure...
However, I think we've all seen some very serious runoff up there when it's 70 degrees out, r*ining, and 4 feet of snow on the ground. The pipe under KBL flowed hard but never seemed to be overloaded.
What they got from this storm was probably a 500-year event....which is what some of the flooded neighborhoods in Rutland were classed as on their flood map.
Most ski areas have culverts simliar to this. It probably wasn't a smart decision to construct a building on top of it.

I'd like to bury them in that ditch or drop them in the Passaic river. Idiots!

As would I.
Saw somewhere yesterday that Irene will likely get into the Top 10 most costly Hurricanes to date.

Re: Damage at K
over hyped is relative to where you live at this point. Obviously VT took a much harder hit than anyone expected. CT is banged up too but VT is much worse. No power is one thing, not being able to get out of town, get food, get gas, etc is an entirly different thing.....

Re: Damage at K
It's in the top ten already, and that's before all of the damage has been assessed. A top 5 finish is not at all unlikely.BigAirSkier1580 wrote:Saw somewhere yesterday that Irene will likely get into the Top 10 most costly Hurricanes to date.
Re: Damage at K
The storm was over hyped with respect to the "winds" which barely reached cat 1 speed. On the contrary, they paid little to no attention to the "r*in". There were some reports about how Vermont was already saturated and at risk for major flooding in the days leading up to time zero but these were few and far between; mostly because this aspect of the storm was expected to have limited effect on NYC, which in the minds of the MSM is the center of the universe.
As a dyed in the wool New Englander I have always ignored the MSM and figure that I am on my own anyway. We simply do not really matter to "them". They see most of as backwards, and only patronize us during foliage and ski season because that is when there is the most sensational news to report. You rarely see them here in the summer, or God forbid during mud season or stick season. They have no real allegiance to us and I do not expect anything to change because of this either.
