Jackson, NH: Jackson Falls crazy after Hurricane Irene, August 28, 2011

Good imagery. I'm sure the usual late summer flow is considerably less frightening....

Contrary to what others have said here, I think the best thing would be to film the water while riding through it wearing an inflatable Arctic survival suit equipped with full oxygen.....of course, one can't have everything.

I hope things are returning to normalcy for everyone there.

HOLY COW! That is crazy scary flooding. I hope no one was hurt.

Nice video, CRAZY bystanders! Just pure luck that bridge didn't collapse under the torrent. Anyway, I hope everyone up there is ok and that there wasn't too much property damage. This is one of the most beautiful areas of the country.

Thanks for posting this. We wondered how NH had fared after the storm. What a difference from when we were there in early August.

Incredible footage, but I can't help but point out that you should NEVER stand so close to a raging river or on a bridge because if a large tree or house were to suddenly come down, well, you wouldn't live long enough to know it. Zoom lenses are your friend.

Take a kayak down that, you won't do it.
