The Blackstone River and Ashton Dam in Cumberland, Rhode Island
A video at the Ashton dam in Cumberland, Rhode Island. The power, height and speed of the river was incredible. At this spot there is at least a ten foot drop off point to the next lower level of the river but it was almost even due to the high water level. I was also surprised at the large amount of garbage that was in the river. No wonder the world is turning into one big dump.
With a record for the total amount of rainfall in March and another multi inch rain storm the last few days the Blackstone River is at historical highs. There is a great deal of flooding going on along this and other rivers.
