When Hurricane Irene gathered steam in the Atlantic Ocean in August 2011, most people in New England and New York simply yawned and checked their sump pumps and flash light batteries. They were used to storms. But during the night of Aug. 28, the rain turned into a deluge of Biblical proportions. Scenic babbling brooks that few had noticed before mutated into monsters that tore down houses, destroyed highways, swept away cars and even opened up graveyards so that coffins floated down the streets. Super-saturated hillsides collapsed onto roads, houses and cars. Historic covered bridges that had stood for a century and a half were washed away in the torrent of water. Communities became isolated islands when bridges were washed away and the only way to get in or out was by helicopter. Writers, bloggers and photographers from throughout the storm-damaged regions of Vermont, the Catskills, Western Massachusetts and New Hampshire share their stories and photographs in a new offering from Surry Cottage Books.You will not be disappointed with Good Night Irene: Stories and Photos about the record-breaking tropical storm that devastated Vermont, the Catskills and the Berkshires
