No shelters yet set up to have people to evacuate to, although some people are being told they can't stay home.  Assuming it's the stockade.

Long Pond apartments are being evacuated.  Dunkin Donuts notified to evacuate.

Rt 30 in Duanesburg closed due to heavy flooding. Trees down 1000 Block Garner and 1300 Block Garner Avenue. Lines down and power cut on Grand Blvd by Nisky line. Furman St closed with tree down and cars running through emergency tape. 1500 Phoenix Avenue wires down. 1100 block Glenwood basement apartment totally flooded.

     Please do not call your Fire/EMS for an inch of water in the basement. Call a neighbor or relative. Every local department is swamped with serious medical/lines down priority calls.

Gilboa Dam is looking at possibly giving way.  It is overflowing, but there isn't an idea of when it might give out.  REMS called to remove seniors from an apartment @ Long Pond.

Part of Currybush Road now reported as being washed out.

I just heard about the Gilboa Dam issue too.

Tree on wires on Old River Rd.

Duanesburg fire called to come together for mandatory evacuations in their district.
