Hi Mr. Gofberg, I am a producer with The Weather Channel and we are producing a program that will feature the flooding caused by Hurricane Irene. While looking for footage I came across your video! I would love to speak with you about including it in our program! My email is aubry(dot)losito(dot)contractor@weathergroup(dot)com best, Aubry

sick man .. how much were thos skies ?

Poor Vermont. I'm a upstate NY'er who spent 14 summers(yes...summers) of my life in VT(Ludlow) on Lake Rescue and part of my heart is in that state. I am now out in CA and I hope things don't get worse. This is very sad to see. Beautiful state, Great people... If I was close I'd be heading up there to help.

vtirene.crowdmap.com is a web site trying to use volunteer mapping to quantify damage from Irene! its easy to use. upload pictures and video there too so it can be geographically referenced

looks like the bridge from beetlegeuse

you should check out my page, i have some videos of irene too

@robert19lgg nawh brother, its not that they getting all the attention. Its that they never get that up there and now that they did, they don't know how to act. We do down here. Shit you know Texas would've sat in the front porch with a lonestar in one hand talking bout are them ribs done! LOL! Northerns ain't prepared for weather like that. That's all

blame it on alcohol

@groundbeef98 but the damage is done

I have a house there in quechee and boy does thi suck

TOO FAR....I SAY TOO FAR THATS THE NAME OF MY VIDEO......IF YOU GUYS CAN COME WATCH IT THATS WOULD BE GREAT .P.S share my videos,comment,subscribe....i made this for you

@DrekHeBreezy The big difference, is the gulf states get hit with a hurricane nearly every year where this is the worst flooding VT has had in almost 100 years. Also, I am not sure how many people in the north really felt that Katrina was a joke? Ive never heard such comments. However a good portion of New Orleans flooding was the result of poor government...a corrupt government allowed to flourish by the people of New Orleans.

HOW do I get my views up? KZbin/Reggiewriteous

@Zoidness Simon is says he will rebuild and reopen, but the glass blowing operation there is a question mark. The Taftsville bridge survived but is closed right now. Keeping traffic off it until they can see whether there is structural problems. A bridge in Rockingham and one in Springfield also went out. Another one for a total of 4...not sure whether that was. I have a posted a video from Woodstock.

I wish I was there. Looks fun

@agonizethis - Salt water river? What are you talking about?

is that salt water or fresh?

mmm pow pow

She did minimal damage in my area.....Check out my hurricane Irene video.....

The rope swing is still there

I got to this link via FB. Unbelievable the damage to this quintisential town. I lived there as a child, and now live over the border in NH. Fortunately, this is one of the wealthier towns in the area and will rebuild. Let's hope the poorer communities fair well! BTW, only one fatality so far in VT. The rumor is some woman was swimming in a flood zone when she was wisked away...any update on this? Thank you, Angela

there are other bridges that are damaged too but its just insane

Wow! That's crazy water. Stay Safe!

Wow. My prayers to everyone who has been hit hard by this storm.

@algofberg Looked more like 1/3rd of it was gone ;o

That's crazy, are any other covered bridges damaged?

@algofberg theres ways out in both directions

My parents fled the white river to my sisters condo on sugar hill. We were able to drive up there. Hard to say how they will get down tomorrow. The water should go down as fast as it came up, but much of the road by the bridge caved in and I am worried it may be unpassible. I heard the west hartford bridge is also getting hit. Just need to wait until the morning and see.

Thank you for posting this! Our friends up Willard on Stafford Rd need to know what's going on. And to figure out how to leave tomorrow during the day.Suggestions?

Wow great video thanks from Australia

Hopefully my condo is all right

Irene does not sound scary my grannys friend is called Irene

This is my hometown. So sad to see. :( Will be up in late September to see how bad the damage is.

The bridge is still there, but its in BAD shape. Barely hanging on and the roadway is gone leading to it

We would like to use this video at my station..can you send me a message pls?

So horrible. Grew up in Barnard, near Quechee and this bridge is beautiful. Saw a photo of the bridge in Taftsville, just up river and hope it's okay. Water was right under it. Did this bridge really float away?

I'm confused, did the bridge actually end up washing away or is it already moved in this video? I don't know the area so all I see in this video is a massive flood going over roadways. It's a nice-looking bridge, would be a shame if it is/was destroyed.

always sad when something like this happens.. ;-( (Kirk..Montreal, Canada)

This is heartbreaking! Does anyone know how long ago this was or have an update?? Is Simon Pearce toast??

: (

how long ago was this?

Man that police tap is really holding me back from going in...
