Sorry I've Been Gone....We Got Flooded

Just a quick post with some pics of the flooding here in Walton, NY. Our peaceful little town in the Catskill Mountains of New York State has been completely destroyed by 3 days of rain and flooding.

Our main street above, Delaware Avenue, last Wednesday during the height of the flood.

This is the front of a restaurant in our village


The pictures to the right are of our main street, Delaware Avenue, or whats left of it!

Our house is fine, we live on top of a mountain, but the town was destroyed. 100% of all businesses were flooded out, about 80% of the houses. It is amazing what water can do!

Fire departments from all over the state have come in to help with rescue. The National Guard has been amazing, helping repair roads and bridges. We lost over 35 bridges in Delaware county.
