Campton, NH dam on the Mad River confirmed as breached.

WMUR reporting the Pemi could rise 10 feet in Plymouth in the next few hours.

I just drove to Plymouth to get a pizza. Lots of folks out on the bridge watching the water rise. Still has not flooded the Holderness side of the river yet. Earlier this year, 175A was shut down from the bridge to the interstate. The Citco gas station has many high water marks on it from past flooding. The Pemi is still rising at an astonishing rate and is running as fast as I have ever seen it. Amazing how quickly the water rose in the past hour. As seen with other reports and pictures in this thread, it seems like flooding has been a bigger issue than the storm itself.

Route 49 on the way to Waterville, near Sandwich Notch Road, has "caved in." Tripoli Road closed yesterday, so Waterville Valley is in theory inaccessible.

update

Leonard's Propane on Route 4 in Bridgewater has been washed out. My brothers has seen close to a hundred 500 gallon propane tanks go over the damn in Taftsville and turn into torpedos when the valve snaps off.

Simon Pearce in Quechee has been evacuated.

Unprecented flood damage in the area.

Waitsfield (MRV) is isolated. Bridge St closed, water up over the street and to Rt 100. Rt 17 App Gap closed; area near Fidder's Green (just south of Rt 100/17) on Rt 100 has Mill Brook and Mad River as one single waterway now.

Rt 100 covered in water down at old John Egan's/MadBush.

Tremblay Rd closed. Rt 100 North of Waitsfield closed, with traffic (not sure where they could come from!) diverted to Loop Rd, coming out near Kenyon's.

Rt 100B closed in several spots.

Waitsfield is pretty much an island at this point.

Wowzers. Looks like it stranded folks on that side of the bridge. Let those that nay say the stocking up of supplies before a storm stand corrected!

Pemi River flooding hitting Thornton now and working its way south.

Here is a good news feed on NH issues:

Kanc to be closed for 1-2 weeks according to a post on that feed. 302 closed as well. You really can't get there from here now.

Hurricane Bob put 105 boats up on the beach. This time around, the harbor was deserted and at least 90% of the boats got pulled. I saw three boats washed up.

 

[WJenness]

I wonder how Dork's boat fared...

Lyndonville was evacuated a couple hours ago... gonna try to get up to LSC tomorrow (which is obviously fine) but can't imagine what some parts of Lyndonville might look like when the sun rises. So hard looking at the pictures of places like Wilmington, Woodstock, Brattleboro, etc. Shame on the people in NYC and Boston bitching about losing power for a few hours. You still have a house.

Think there could be some serious flooding in Maine from the Kennebec somewhere westward, even though it's a big pushy river...kinda pale compared to what VT gets = mostly mountains and valleys with little room for runoff = water only listens to motha gravity....sounds like what some spots in NH getting the same...#302...Whew. Must've been some nice photo shots around the Pass...
Maybe there's some tidal surge near mouth of the Penobscot to do damage...y/n?, but just gusts of wind mixed with intermittent heavy/light rain here in Bangor... Mostly just strong wind the last 4-5 hours...

Is that last pic Brattleboro? Sure looks like it. Just heartbreaking.

Surfs up on Snowshed at Killington.

The Pemi was wild to watch today, flooding in Lincoln and North Woodstock to condos and homes. In Woodstock the gauge measured 45,900 cfs!!! The bridge to South Mountain is closed, the water never went over the bridge but went around flooding Rivergreen Condos first floor. For anyone who has kayaked the Pemi from North Woodstock, the 175 steel bridge was closed as water was hitting it, and the propane tanks where you put in are under water!

At the bridge into Loon the east branch made your jaw drop. Water producing waves 20' high, you could hear boulders shifting, tree after large tree going down the river. The lower parking lot near Governor's Lodge was washed completely, water was hitting the bottom of the bridge, trees and embankment very close to the bridge were washed away. I was dumbfounded like everyone else in town

Nervous to see tomorrows results
