Ruth
Glad to hear you fared well where you are. Burlington, at least the  
south end, is ok, according to my husband. It's not ok in many VT and  
NY towns. Vermont's state offices are closed today, their servers in  
Waterbury had to be evacuated; the FEMA offices there (located in  
Waterbury since spring floods) had to be evacuated.

There will be some serious restoration work. Meanwhile, I hope folks  
are ok. It's weird to be unable to help -- here in Oregon, the scene  
out that way is surreal and awful.

Take care,

Mary
