I remember that..I was in Monroe NH at a friends house...don't remember why. Her brother was heading over to the Fest then turned around after he heard it was cancelled. He was pretty bummed as I'm sure many valley residents were!
Just on the other side of the Valley, Bristol had quite a flood 2 summers ago. A thunderstorm sat on top of Bristol for 2 hours. Bridges were washed out, some folks on Mountain Street had substantial damage from run-off of the mountain, and the Merchant's Bank almost went over it's bank into the New Haven River. Some friends of ours who lived in New Haven at the time were trapped on an "island" for a while as all bridges were washed out around them. There are still some homes that cannot be occupied due to flood damage...one of which is at the intersection of 116/River Road in Bristol which many of you folks may have driven by on your way to the Valley (if you go that way).
