Keene residents wake up to devastation

KEENE - Tropical Storm Irene hit the town of Keene hard, causing the greatest recorded damage since the mid-19th century.

This morning, residents woke to find their fire station ripped in half, nearly a half-dozen bridges washed out, homes destroyed and every town road suffering damage primarily caused by flooding. No lives were lost, but the cost to restore public and private property is said to be in the millions.

"I just started assessing the town," Tony Lavigne of the Essex County Highway Department said after climbing back up on Beede Road after inspecting the Phelps Brook Bridge. "So far I know of two bridges lost, the one in St. Hubert's and John's Brook. Damages are countywide; actually, much of the eastern half of the state, Vermont, Delaware and North Carolina was hit hard. The flooding is way worse than this past spring and much more widespread. All 18 towns in Essex County have suffered damage."

In Keene Valley, the northern half of the hamlet beginning at The Mountaineer gear shop was under water, and state Route 73 turned into a branch of the AuSable River with many homes flooded and people having to be evacuated from their homes Sunday afternoon. McDonough's Valley Hardware suffered severe flood damage, as did many homes. The Ash family again lost livestock and propane gas tanks, as they did in the spring flood. Most of lower Beede Road was under water.

An attempt to evacuate Marcy Neville, who lives out across from Airport Road, ended with the rescuee rescuing her would-be rescuers as their high-tech air boat conked out. She had to ferry them back to higher ground in her shell.

Monday morning found the approaches to the John's Brook Bridge washed out, leaving those living in Adrian's Acres and up toward the Garden trailhead stranded until a side wood road could be opened after the river subsided.

"The river came up at least 20 feet," said Norm Reynolds, who lives near the John's Brook Bridge. "The water was up and over the bridge. I have never seen it like this. It came up mid-morning yesterday. It sounded like thunder. All the rocks rolling down the river sounded like the final of a Fourth of July fireworks.
