This was the worst storm ever seen in many places in the northeast. There was horrific flooding over in the Catskills. Many of the highest water levels ever recorded were exceeded by several feet yesterday. All roads in Delaware County, NY are now closed. Many small villages saw their main street areas completely destroyed. Large areas will be lucky to have power back by this weekend.

Things are even worse in southern Vermont and elsewhere. It will be years before some of these towns look the same or maybe never.

Exactly what makes me so mad about the news talking, or even MENTIONING the word over reaction!

Seen a lot of the coverage of Vermont today, just a disaster, and that's played out all over the NE like you said Mark.
