What the reports say
Written by National Weather Service staff at the time of the event · public domain
Flooding occurred along the Hudson River between Warrensburg and The Glen due to an ice jam. People were stranded in houses on Glen Creek Road and one family was evacuated. The water eroded a portion of River Road in the town of Thurman and flooded the Glen Hudson campsite, prompting an evacuation of the owners. The water and ice also spread onto Cronin's Golf Course. To the south, water and ice flowed over the Route 418 bridge, resulting in an extended closure for the better part of 12 days. Stony Creek Road was also flooded near Cameron Road.
Several roads in the Pottersville/Igerna area were damaged or washed out, including Olmstedville Road, Stone Bridge Road, Igerna Road, and Hard Scrabble Road. The Natural Stone Bridge and Caves Park sustained damage to wooden stairs and boardwalks as a result of flooding along the Trout Brook.
