Stately Windsor County towns wracked by Irene
The vagaries of the cruel devastation left behind by the tropical storm known as Irene are evident everywhere in the hard-hit areas of Quechee, Woodstock and Hartford.
The testament to the fierce power of water is written in acres of slick mud, stones and gravel, massive slabs of broken asphalt, scattered propane tanks, tree trunks tossed about like salad ingredients and gullies gouged out by a giant riverine backhoe.
Three days distant from its onslaught north through Vermont, the Route 4 corridor between Interstate 89 and West Woodstock and Route 14 between Sharon and White River Junction in east central Vermont are filled with the thrum of heavy equipment. A steady stream of big dump trucks winds along the roads, the fetid stench of muck and rotting food and debris evident as a massive repair and restoration effort is under way.
Throughout this region — just one small slice of what much of central and southern Vermont is experiencing — lies a state oddly divided, between those who by stint of elevation, a bend in the river or some random chance of luck escaped disaster, and their neighbors, whose homes, businesses and inns received the brunt of rivers and brooks run amuck.
The list of victims in the Woodstock area includes many iconic names in the Vermont pantheon.
* The elegant Woodstock Inn, its 142 rooms a key economic engine in this resort town and the employer of some 280 people. Normally bustling, it’s closed and dark and the flooded downstairs is dank evidence of the waters that came calling.
* The red Taftsville Covered Bridge over the Ottauquechee River, cordoned off by yellow police tape, its roof wavy and foundations uncertain, a big green propane tank sitting by one buttress in the river. Adjacent River Road became just that, its surface scoured away into something resembling a rocky stream bed.
* The handsome little village of Quechee, home to Simon Pearce’s famed restaurant, where the covered bridge now leads nowhere, the road at one end having vanished into the Ottauquechee River, while the river rampaged through the restaurant’s now soggy, mud-covered basement.
