I was in Upstate NY for the past few days, Schoharie County actually, helping my mom clear a 90-foot tree from her yard that had fallen during the storm and dropping clothes and supplies off at her local shelter. Many towns in the county were just destroyed, houses floating down the street and the National Guard is everywhere. Many buildings have already been condemned and sad to think that many could not afford flood insurance or were advised against getting it based on their locations. Now they have nothing. Closer to home, Windham and Hunter were hit hard too. They got 16 inches of rain. I was talking to someone who had a 3 ton bulldozer get washed out of his yard, never to be seen again.
