How did everyone do with Irene? I hope everyone is OK after Irene. I hear the upstaters are not doing well. Good luck to all.

Wasn't too bad for us in Saratoga County, a few limbs down and some tree's in some place's but not terrible. We never lost power which was nice, others are still with out power. I have seen far worse damage from ice storms.

We got hit hard in the Cold Spring Harbor ,Long Island area.Tree's down every where,On top of houses.One fell in my back yard and missed my boat by 2 feet.We have no power and were told its going to be 2 to 5 days before its restored.

I am in the capital region the pics up here are amazing. We had some water that is for sure.

[UpStateRedNeck]

Still without power near my house. Out near the family farm things are in pretty rough shape. Schohaire creek/valley got the full brunt of the run-off from all the hills nearby. Lot of people without homes.

[Geno C]

still no power...

Power was out for me for a while, but came back on. I had the generator fired up right away, so the baby had warm bottles

[Geno C]

still out.... love it

[Single_shot]

Power went out about 6am Sunday morning......just got it back this morning. All is well here,hope eveyone fairs well too. Quite nasty it was.

[eagle rider]

Lost power in at 1:30 AM on Sunday, still don't have it back yet.

[Karpteach]

I can't believe that lipa brought in 2000 outside crews and over 1/4 of a million LI'ers are still with no power. I had my in-lAws from south Huntington and Little Neck for 3 days cause they had no power. My daughter loved it. Went out scouting for a new spot or two on the north fork and still a lot of of people out there with no power!

[Geno C]

day 5.....

[First-light]

My ex and kids still don't have power in Huntington Bay. They say maybe by the EOD or tomorrow.

[sampotter]

How are you guys on the internet without power, smart phones?

[Doewhacker]

We got ahold of the land owner where we hunt, they got flooded as expected and lost alot of veggies but still has some of the other fields he plants. We are just thankfull he was ok, the water came up to the house about. It sure will change the hunting this year, it flooded last year and changed the deer patterns alot.

My parents lost everything house is about to fall in on itself! The only thing holding it up is the water in the basement.Yesterday I went in to grab some of my Grandparents stuff they brought over from Holland back in the day within arms reach of the back door and the whole house shifted!!

Notice the waterline on the roof!!Schoharie County looks like a war zone!!

[orion]

River, What town is that in? How close to Schoharie creek are they? Still don't know how to get to my place

Water is an awesome force. I can't even imagine what it must be like to lose a house to a flood. In some cases, it looks like the floods took not only the buildings, but a good chunk of the entire property. Even when insurance helps to pay for rebuilding, looking at some of the damage, it looks like some don't even have a place to rebuild on. Worse than that, most likely a lot of those people may not even have had flood insurance. In some places it's not all that easy to get.
