Any of you guys hear if there is flooding along the Delaware such as Port Jervis? I had someone on facebook ask me that.

4.5" here as of 30 mins ago. Lashing NE winds and heavy rain yet.

This is a summary of the 911 storm calls so far, I wouldn't trust the paper to be complete but I see nothing for PJ listed

I don't think the Delaware will be a problem but the Neversink, which joins the Delaware near Port, is in rough shape.

It won't quit here... Moderate showery rain snow on gusty northwest winds. 6.5" total, but to my south in the northern Catskills it has been epic. 13"+ in in several areas.

I honestly have to say that this is the worst ive seen it here in my 16 yrs in Orange County.. I cant drive more than 1/2 mile without being detoured cause of flooding. My drive from Middletown to Monroe on Rt.17 was quite an adventure. Past Exit 126 (Eastbound) it was a raging river on the highway. Had to turn into oncoming traffic just to get out since water was rushing in from all directions. Rt.32 from Highland Mills- Cornwall is the worst ive seen. The Moodna Creek looks like the Colorado River right now and has washed out most of 32. The green bridge on 32 in Cornwall is closed for fear of it being washed away as well... My folks have 4ft of water in their basement and lost a car to water damage from the Moodna Creek this morning.
