I thought you guys might like a look at some of the flooding near our house in upstate NY.
I'll add them as they upload.
Basically, the problem, aside from record rains, is that the DEC has prevented the dredging of these small streams in order to save the trout that they have to stock every year.
The streams washed some trees into a low bridge, blocking the flow of water under it. Instead, it has headed through several businesses, buried a trailer park, and (we think) flooded my son's house and (we know) his in-laws house, along with a mess of others.
This is our third 100-year flood in the past 5 years. Sort'a sucks.
At any rate...
This is about a block from my house. (Pardon the shaking. I was walking, skipping around puddles, and dodging traffic.)
