Three months since the last storm and somehow it feels like yesterday. Sunday in fact. While other towns are still under water, Peacham had less damage with August 28 Hurricane Irene than we did with the May storm. We did have several road washouts that are repaired now except for the County Road (near Bill Goss's place) which partially washed out again & is temporarily closed. Crews plan to be working on it Thursday.
IF YOUR PROPERTY WAS DAMAGED by this latest storm, report it by calling 2-1-1 so the state can collect data for federal assistance, and so a State or FEMA official can contact you & let you know if you might qualify for any type of aid. Please spread this message to anyone you know who sustained damage.
Be careful driving since there are tree limbs close to the road and occasional small washes. You may experience more extensive road damage or undercut road shoulders with little or no warning in other towns. Peacham's road crew is still covering the rough stone repairs from the May storm with finer material, doing erosion control, and catching up. Our equipment situation recently improved with the arrival of our new truck and grader.
