As of September 5th it looks like all roads are currently back
open in Proctor. The area down by Gorham Bridge road is safe to
travel although you can still see a lot of flooded and destroyed
fields. The housing on Elm & Willow Streets is free of water
although they look like they received a lot of damage to their
homes and goods as there were piles of household goods for trash
and other piles of furniture and goods needing to be dried out.
The Otter Creek seems to be currently contained within its banks as
it runs through Proctor and under the marble bridge. Route 3,
although clear of water, still has lots of dirt and sand remnants
on the shoulder throughout much of the stretch from Rutland to
Proctor. The Proctor youth fields where 2 of the 3 fields and the
snack shack were underwater is also free of flooding. It will be a
challenge to the grounds crew to get the fields back up to par for
baseball and softball next year. Part of Proctor lost electricity
around 7pm during the tropical storm but power was restored to all
by the following Monday around 2pm and so far no more problems have
occurred.
