Colin Mixson reported in the New York Daily News that at least one person died in massive Hudson Valley flooding after a storm dumped several inches of rain on already-damp ground July 9 and 10. Rep. Pat Ryan Tweeted, "We are still assessing the full extent of the storm's impacts but tragically, we have one confirmed fatality and severe flood damage across the Hudson Valley, especially in Highland Falls, West Point, Cornwall, and parts of Rockland and Putnam counties." Gov. Hochul issued a state of emergency for Orange County for what she described as “life-threatening flooding.” State police warned motorists away from the Palisades Interstate Parkway, Long Mountain Circle, Route 6, and the Bear Mountain Bridge due to major flooding. In Dutchess County, the Times Union reported that the Taconic State Parkway was closed in the northbound directions near exit 45 in LaGrange, Dutchess County. State Route 82 was closed in both directions at Emans Road in LaGrange, and State Route 343 is closed in both directions at Old Route 22 in Washington. Amtrak also canceled its Empire Service train between New York City and Albany due to a washout on the tracks. Rensselaer County officials reported that sections of County Route 121, or River Road, in Schaghticoke were closed because of damage from the storm. Rainfall totals were between 2-4 inches in most of our immediate area, with over seven inches in the southern Hudson Valley. Read more about this story in the New York Daily News.
