Dangerous Waters Abound

Keep Your Children Away From Swollen Streams and Rivers

While the snow may be all but gone around Uxbridge the Streams and rivers are still very dangerous. The water level where these videos were taken rose close to 1 foot overnight last night (Wed April 02nd) and likely would have risen even more if the temperature had not dropped. Anticipated rain and just above freezing temperatures will likely keep the water levels high for the next week

How Much
Force is There?

The 25+ foot tree in the water was washed down river and through the dam. It is lodged on an island in the river that is now under about 1 foot of water

Normal Flow is about 3 to 4 inches in depth over the dam.

One of three Dams used to control the water level for Peers mill

The Flow through the dam is about 3 feet in depth at the time of these videos

Just How
Dangerous
is the flow?

Watch for the chunk of ice about 4 1/4 seconds into this segment.
It takes just over 1 second to travel 25 feet

Kathy, what cool videos!  I just got one of those neat little Flip video cameras and am carrying it around waiting for an opportunity to use it on something like these scenes.  Good work!

Marg - Magnificent, and at times ferocious. The water has dropped about 12 inches in the last 24 hours but still covers most of the island.
