Red55 0 Posted August 29, 2011 Hurricane Irene in my neck of the woods. (Stony Point, NY) No water problems for me. Spent Saturday morning cleaning out the gutters, because I saw on the camera that the gutters were overflowing during an earlier storm. Have the gutter screens, and haven't cleaned leaves in over ten years, but there was an 1" of muck in the gutters. No water in the house but my brother's stream which is usually a trickle came up to the top of his bank which is at least 12ft drop off his back yard. This stream turned into a river and wiped out RT 208 in Orange county, NY. Worst part of the storm was the wind last night around 6pm. Can't wait to see how many trees it took out and if I can get out of my road. -Ed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Birdman Adam 0 Posted August 30, 2011 Relatives in NY had flooding like this too - actually seems as if MORE damage happened up there than here in NC! There whole basement had a couple inches, and a major highway nearby was completely washed out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
