The weather system that dumped all that water on the Mid-Atlantic states didn’t make it to Rochester. I got an inch of rain here the day before yesterday, and that’s about the extent of it.

The Southern Tier, where I grew up, did get hit, however.

My dad says he’s has over 11 inches of rain this month.

He also just told me that the Chenango River reached the steps of the old bank in Downtown Oxford. That’s higher than it got during Hurricane Agnes in 1972–considered the major flooding event, in Upstate New York, in recent memory.

Until now.
