Following an interesting week in the aftermath of Irene, an old question of mine came back up..."How do fish manage to not get washed away when streams/brooks reach insane flow levels"? School me.
Here are some pictures and videos of a local brook AFTER the water had receded a bit...

In case there is any question in peoples minds, VT was absolutely devastated by this storm. I have never seen anything like this in my 36 years on this earth...
