At my place in the Upper Connecticut River Valley it was pretty much a non-event - 2.8 inches of rain, highest wind gust was 18 mph, at least according to my weather station in the yard (coordinates and ID #s are below), never lost power.  Went out with the dog at 1430 in the afternoon and the bees were flying.  Had worse this summer from a few thunderstorms.  BUT, I must have dodged a bullet,  because I was out yesterday, and all around the area there was a lot of infrastructure damage to road, bridges, power lines, etc., primarily from flooding.

Goldenrod and Japanese Knotweed are in full bloom here.  With all the rain this summer am hoping for a strong late-summer fall flow.  Had to add supers to the strongest hives to give the bees some room, and that's with running three deeps for the mains.  But fall has been running longer and longer recently, so the bees probably will be active in a dearth for a while, so it may all end up going back to them - which is fine by me.
