Almost lost my canoe transporter, but thank God the tree just missed my truck.

It appears that western NY and northern VT got hit big time from the storm yesterday.
Glad you and your canoe transporter are ok.

Parts of new england definitely got slammed. Hope every one is OK. There are towns in vt ( Moretown and Waterbury) that have bridges structurely damaged. In new york the asuable river and others have been ripping, causing havoc.
Since the tree fell on your driveway, see if you can get your homeowner insurance to pay for something. They may refuse, but lots of folks don't think about contacting their home insurance carrier about downed trees.
We in far SE Wisconsin (60 miles north of Chicago) even caught the very weak tail end of this storm with some rain.

I think that we got almost all of the wind but none of the rain. Pity too as we're really dry here right now. Corn fields look line onions by evening and anyone still mowing their yards have brown yards (or high water bills).
Edge of the storm tracked just west and north of me. Bad juju in western and northern Vermont though.

Vermont flooding: Photos show washed-out roads and damaged houses from Hurricane Beryl's remnants
Remnants of Hurricane Beryl triggered flash floods on Thursday that washed away roads and bridges, toppled an apartment building and left at least two people dead.
I just drove from central VT to Saranac Lake yesterday. New York had streams and rivers blown out, but I didn't pass anything too bad. Vermont was nervous; they had traumatic flooding this time last year and prepped up as well as they could. From what I hear the flooding stopped at "very bad" and just short of "catastrophic". I had to backtrack as Rte 17 was closed off, and the part that wasn't closed off had two or three significant washouts where a whole road lane was just gone. Hope everyone from Barre to St. Johnsbury is coming out of it okay.
Beryl missed us down in my part of the South, and we could have used the rain.
Did anyone get in any whitewater "hurricane runs" on those small flashy creeks that can only be run after a big rain?

It is weird to me to hear about the storm affecting yall way up there. I kind of just assumed it fizzled out after it left Texas. There still parts of Houston that do not have power. It has been so long since we had a major hurricane blow through here there must have been a lot of tree growth that the utility company did not take care of. I can only imagine what damage it would have caused if it had been a CAT 3 or 4.

I have a dry creek behind my house that I really wanted to put in and paddle around. I have done it before after a lot of rain, but I had too much to clean up.

Yea, I didn't even think about that. I had it off my driveway in about 3 hours. No telling how long it would have taken for my insurance to get someone out. The main thing was getting my driveway clear so we could drive out. I've just been taking my time to clear the rest. Over the weekend I built a fire at the base were it uprooted trying to burn those roots out so that I can get rid of that heap in my yard.
The local brook under immediately post-Beryl skies, and two days post-Beryl as they let all the water at Wilder dam flow down to Long Island Sound. My boats aren't going anywhere without car topping for a bit.
