Just how big was that puddle on Route 9? Watch this video of Hurricane Sandy by the Wellesley Media Corporation, and you'll remember to take an alternate route next time bad weather hits the 'burbs west of Boston.

"Wellesley Battles Sandy" details how officials from the town's police, fire, municipal light plant, and the department of public works battled the storm's effects through the day Monday.

Crews in slickers and boots braved wind and rain to respond to fallen trees, downed lines, and flooded streets. There's also dramatic footage of SUV's plowing through water on Route 9.

The skies may have cleared, but the story lives on.
