"This is my dock in Island Pond. My dock has about a foot of water on top of it. Usually, this time of year, it’s at least a foot below my dock, you know. Sometimes even more."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Rebecca Boucher, Vacationing in Vermont:
"So we fish, we paddleboard, we bike. We’ve been having a great time. We rented it from Tuesday till Friday. And, of course, you know, when we woke up Tuesday and heard the news about all the flooding and everybody’s, like, ‘are you going to be able to get there?’ And we did. And, you know, we’ve been seeing dump trucks go up and down fixing all the roads and everybody’s getting their driveway regraded. And you guys seem like you have wonderful spirit up here."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Gabriel Muraca, Vermont resident:
"We never experienced water like we had over the last few days here. Last night was actually a break, but Monday night was unbelievable. You know, it just just rained and thunder and lightning the entire night. And we ended up with, you know, seven inches of rain in six hours and everything was just awash. Yeah. Roads, 105 washed out. We were essentially an island. We couldn’t couldn’t get in and in or out without, you know, risking going through heavy water."
