Heavy Rains Lead to Water Rescues, Grist Mill Destruction in Upstate New York
Town crews are draining water after about 5 inches of rain flooded basements and left some residents cleaning up damage.
- Torrential rains triggered widespread flash flooding across eastern New York on Wednesday, destroying a nearly 300-year-old gristmill in Castleton-on-Hudson. Authorities reported no deaths or injuries as cleanup efforts began Thursday.
- Nearly 30 centimeters of rain fell in parts of Columbia and Rensselaer counties near Albany during a 48-hour period ending Thursday morning, the National Weather Service said. Albany received 8 inches of rainfall over the same period.
- The Town of Lewiston experienced five inches of rain Monday evening, with residents reporting flooded basements by Tuesday morning. First responders in Albany and other towns rescued people from homes and vehicles Wednesday as waterways flooded.
- Damage to the water plant in Castleton-on-Hudson prompted officials to issue a boil water advisory for residents and request reduced water usage. Cleanup crews pumped out waterlogged basements throughout the affected counties.
- Heavy rains earlier this week also swamped areas of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, leading to flooding and water rescues across the tri-state region. Officials monitored conditions as receding floodwaters allowed recovery efforts to proceed.
