Just What We Need......More Rain

It has been raining all day today, sometimes heavily. The good news is that even though the Woodland Creek and the Esopus were high they staying within their banks in most places. The Esopus went above floodstage (which is 11 feet) in the early afternoon and there was some flooding in very low lying areas. But town didn't get any serious water to my knowledge and Woodland Valley was fine. Rt 212 between Plank Road and Rt 28, and Plank Road itself were closed due to flooding earlier in the day. I don't know if they have re-opened. There was a flash flood warning for Woodland Valley and other local areas but to my knowledge so far everything has been OK.

Here is a link to something I find very helpful in challenging weather events and other emergencies. It is the NY Alert system. The first link is to the general site:
NY Alert
The second link is to sign up to receive emails from the system regarding any current alerts in your area.
NY Alerts - Civilian Portal
This was very helpful today as it alerted me to road closures in the area. You might want to check it out and sign up. It takes a little while but I think it is totally worth it.
