Bo Marsh Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 It’s bad up here by the airport already. All the drainage ditches and creeks are roaring. A lot of water is on its way down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suefromupstate Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 There is flooding in many areas. Why is there not a county wide state of emergency? Jason Garnar must be busy sleeping with staff members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Mitchell Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Looks like the heavy rain is over for tonight here in broome. Vestal and Endicott east to Harpursville got hit hard with 3"+ of rain. Many roads and homes flooded especially in Chenango and Chenango Bridge areas. With daily chances for showers and storms this week, more flash flooding can be expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nina & Arch Duncan Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 This isn’t good. The grounds are over saturated. The retention ponds are full and can’t take on any more water. We are supposed to get more rain today and this week. There will be worse flooding to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo Marsh Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 First summer I can remember that there are still parts of my lawn too wet to mow. The tractor would just sink. I use a weed eater to keep it trimmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerSomeone Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 God selected one family on Tunnel Road in the last rainstorm and a small stream got plugged, diverted the culvert, and wiped them out completely.

Total loss and no flood insurance. Water does odd things but will not be denied. Interesting you think this. Do you have a theory about why Broome County went from being a 500 yr flood plain risk to every 5 years starting in 2006? Anything significant happen to you in 2006? Just asking, I have my own theories about "man made climate change". And yes, 2006 was significant for me. Rock on gold dust woman....

FormerSomeone Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 2006 I believe was the year I stood on Powers Road with a group of coworkers just south of the railroad embankment and wondered if our plant would be underwater like most of Conklin. That after trying five different routes to get there and finding roads missing and bridges closed. Also a BIG snow storm that winter. Scientists prefer saying "climate change" to Global Warming, because not all regions will get hotter. But the overall world warming WILL cause more energy in the atmosphere. And that means more extreme, possibly more frequent storms. We've done it to ourselves and may have gone past the tipping point were even if we shut everything down the nest 25 or 30 years may get stedily worse. But, hey, we made a lot of good years for the stockholders and product manufacturers. Then again, our church sent volunteers down to Hazelton in 1972 to help prople clear their homes of feet of mud. Some areas are just poor bets for building a house. Like where 80% of all people live (beside water, that is). Going to get worse because were producing LOTS more people and no more land. But then, it was 1968 that people laughed off "Zero Population Growth" and the warnings of what was to come. Just how people are. Short-sighted. "What can I have now" without concerns of what will it cost me later. I'm just as guilty. My wants far exceed my needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Good morning. Something wicked your way comes...maybe. I was just catching the weather on horrible Comcast tv. It looks like there is a trough of tornado like winds headed your way. When I saw it, I recalled the last time I was on vacation Howard Manges sent my mother to the cellar. Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone...beauty of a moon last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Mother wasn’t the only one. Howard had a nervous breakdown live on the air that day. Anybody have video footage of that. I’m sure WBNG burned it.
