Vermont's historic covered bridges. How can I find out which ones were washed out?

Question

I know many of the covered bridges were washed out in the flooding after Irene.  I am planning a trip to Vermont at the beginning of October.  How can I find out which bridges were washed away?

Here's a link to a run-down of the damage from the Vermont Covered Bridge Society.

From 2nd link:

"Vermont lost two covered bridges in the storm, the one in Rockingham, known as the Bartonsville Bridge, and another in Woodstock, according to Joe Nelson, vice president of the Vermont Covered Bridge Society. That leaves about 100 still standing."

From 3rd link:
"Images of the flooding showed normally tranquil streams pouring through city streets and thrashing against buildings and bridges, including some of the state's iconic covered bridges. Four to six of the covered bridges were destroyed in the flooding, officials said."
