Flood of Sept 2011

The flood waters came up and went back down, leaving a skim of grime 4-5 feet high.


We got 9 inches (or more) of rain between Monday and Wednesday last week, and Thursday morning the flood waters rose….fast. Creeks and the Susquehanna River overflowed and devastated Owego and many other towns along the water. We escaped with little damage compared to some–a submerged tractor and a washed out road, plus no customers for a week because of closed roads. All the people, the sheep, and Buffy are safe, so we’re thankful.
