If you follow me on Twitter you may remember I tweeted a link to a Photosynth I  made of a bridge in Vermont as part of a day trip to the state. That bridge is the Taftsville Covered Bridge, which is featured in the Photosynth above. After a conversation with some friends about the recent weather New England and parts of upstate New York have received, as the result of Hurricane Irene and Tropical Depression Lee, I decided to check YouTube to see if I could find videos of water rushing past the one bridge I happened to capture with my camera. I found such a video.

This video was taken just after Hurricane Irene swept through Vermont leaving many without power or road access. When compared to the Photosynth above the video was recorded on the opposite shore of the Ottaquechee River, just beyond the power station. As I understand it, the bridge survived and the state is still cleaning up from all the rain. None the less, these are some powerful comparison media views showing the volume of water that went through one part of Vermont.
