Our town has been hit by two 100 year floods in the last 5 years. People who have rebuilt their homes and businesses twice will not be able to afford it again. The floods were in the fall season; both from reminants of hurricanes. This report is from upstate NY 150 miles from the nearest ocean. We live in a basin where 3 rivers that drain over 10,000 square miles come together.

Hi Waldo, I hope there will not be big damage in your area. I thought that the hurricane would mainly hit the coastal region, not so much upstate New York protected by mountains. But apparently, things are more complex.

Yes, here in the mountains the rain is our problem. The winds cause the trees to fall on the wires and we lose power for quite some time but the rain is what causes so much heartache for those who live near the rivers.

Best wishes for you and for all people in the mountains!
