Does anyone else remember the ice storm of 2008? How could you not!? So it's hard to imagine that a storm during the summer would do anything much beyond getting things a little wet from the rain. Well, a recent storm and some intense flooding caused some incredible damage to a road in Alstead, New Hampshire. And from the pictures, it looks like the end of the world happened. WOW! Just check out the pictures of the damage done to the road from a Facebook post by Bascom Maple Farm. It's torn up and in pieces. Definitely not driveable. This is insane! That's some frost heaves, I tell ya!
