Who would have thought that a tropical storm could have created an island town in the center of VT? I never would have believed it if I didn’t see it with my own two eyes. Killington is the newest island. Presently, the only way in, or out of town is via helicopter. RT 4 East is washed away from the intersection of (what used to be) River Road east past Goodro Lumber. RT 4 West is washed away just west of the intersection of Wheelerville Road. RT 100 North is blocked at the intersection of RT 4 due to road and bridge and washouts. East Mountain Road is impassable heading east at the Great Eastern ski bridge. Pictures only tell part of the story. Stay tuned for updates.
