The Upper Valley and parts of the Whites got it badly. The rest of NH is OK for the most part. VT, on the other hand, was absolutely pulverized.
Sympathies from NH to VT. We're helping in any way we can.

To give you a sense of what it was like. This is RT 9, Willmington, VT - the main east/west artery between NH, VT and NY state.
