Have had 2-3 days of on and off T-storms and pouring rain. This area has the Erie Canal running through, as well as several creeks and streams, because of the Genesee River running through the city. And us being on Lake Ontario.
Thanks to all that, we have had a bit of flooding here and there in several of the towns and villages. Pen Yan, a village south of here, got hit bad by the storms. They have extensive damage. Some houses flooded so bad they have already been condemned. Two instances of serious flooding in 48 hours.
Here, there is a creek down the road and it flooded over in the valley area. Which happens every other year or so. Had to go to the grocery store for a few things. (Donovan, if you are reading this, I went to Tops). Part of the road and parking lot were flooded. In the middle of the water was a car, stuck in the water, high enough you could barely see the tops of the wheel wells. Dumb shit tried to drive through.
