PRESTON HOLLOW – Barbara Jean Cook Wood, 77, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 28, 2023 at the FASNY Fireman’s Home in Hudson. Born in Catskill on October 9, 1945,
MIDDLEBURGH - Cleanup was underway Monday in the village of Middleburgh after heavy rains caused flooding.
You would be hard-pressed to find many other places in upstate New York where people are more on edge every time heavy rains fall. In August 2011, Tropical Storm Irene left the tiny village in the heart of Schoharie County submerged in water and misery.
When heavy rains came overnight Sunday into Monday, it clearly wasn t as devastating as that hundred year storm a decade ago, but there was inconvenience.
The problem this time appeared to blocked culverts on the Gorge Creek. When that happens, water overflows the banks and begins seeping into basements and down Main Street.
