Mohawk Valley Flooding 2013

Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente is announcing a new program aimed at helping Oneida county bounce back from the summer flooding.

This summer's flash flooding is something that some parts of Central New York are still recovering from. Now another part of Upstate New York, has been hit by heavy rains. Take a look at this video from Cortland taken on the evening of August 8, 2013.

Many Central New York residents were hit hard by the heavy rains and flooding of late June. Homes were inundated by flood waters leaving many in need of substantial repairs and remediation.

(Marcy, NY) - Townsquare Utica radio stations Big Frog 104, Lite 98.7, WIBX 950, Oldiez 96.1 and the Utica Boilermaker would like to thank everyone who generously made a donation to the Mohawk Valley Flood Fund 2013.

On July 17, Governor Cuomo created the Mohawk Valley and Upstate Flood Recovery program. The program is designed to assist homeowners, renters, business owners and farmers impacted by the recent flooding.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says New York will step in to help flood victims since the federal government will not.

The Boilermaker crowd showed their generosity and support for our neighbors still recovering from the devastating flooding in Central New York.  Thousands donated to the Mohawk Valley Flood Fund and you can still help by giving to the Flood Fund online, with the link below.  See pictures of everyone who gave, the Boilermaker crowd and video of the 'Star Spangled Banner,' which kicked off the post

Dominion is helping Mohawk Valley Flood victims, by doing more than just restoring power.  The company, which is based in Virgina, but has a station in New Hartford,  donated $4000 to our Mohawk Valley Flood fund.  The money will be given to the Salvation Army in Herkimer, one of the hardest hit areas.

As residents of the area, we feel that we have a responsibility to our Mohawk Valley listeners to help those recently affected by flooding.

Sunday July 7 marks 10 days of flooding across Central New York. A heavy rain storm brought flooding to an area of the region that had not yet seen high water, West Utica.

Mother Nature hasn't been kind to our area this summer.  After recent devastation in the Mohawk Valley and Central New York, more showers and thunderstorms are on the way, placing our area under a Flash Flood Watch from 11am until tonight.  There is also a Flood Warning for the Mohawk River at Utica until further notice.  Several roads are already closed due to the overnight rain.

The summer rains have been relentless, and again on Sunday night the waterlogged communities of Central New York have had more rain to deal with.
