THE FLOOD ??????

Cool 100 supplied live coverage and interviews with police, gov't officials and charities; as the diaster unfolded, Tuesday Night, all day/night Wednesday and into Thursday. We stayed live and out on location giving updates and passing along evacuation information, boil water advisories and road closures. We covered two of the visits of the governor and the stop by Clinton and Schumer.
The Visions-Cool Building on Upper Court Street became a base of operation, as it was one of the few eastside buildings in complete operation. As power and phone service came and went in many other buildings as water covered neighborhoods... Cool's service comes from the State Hospital grid, and remained unaffected, even as NYSEG turned off Court Street. So many outlets... the Police, Highway Dept, WBNG-TV, CNN, MSNBC all found home in our parking lot and we helped with bottled water, bathrooms and twice a phone.
Despite the no travel restrictions, Cool and I know WBNG-TV for sure stayed on the roads and we actually almost became the news as the Chenango River punched through the Front Street levee while we sat at the light at Front and Prospect Streets, within minutes that joint gave and nearby streets flooded with 18-24 inches of water.
Our coverage continues... Saturday we passed along all the gov't press releases and Sunday the Bill Flynn Show stepped it up and had phone interviews with several key officials. Today we've continued to pass along what we know in regards to services and openings and into the cleanup phase where people can get help and clean-up kits.

were the cc tv stations there doing good coverage as well or just WBNG..
I didn't see Newschannel 34 here on the Eastside, but I'm assuming they were out someplace getting pics as they had coverage of the flood in their newscast... though NBC outta NY had a truck up here and I think they used some of their footage from our parking lot.

My Family was very much affected by the floods in USNY. I'm heading to these fine towns and villages for my family vacation on 7/13. Oneonta-=serious Susquehanna and Charlotte Creek Flooding.. Detour off of I-88 all four lanes washed out by Carr Creek, two truckers died when they plunged into the raging waters below when the interstate dissappeared....Walton NY=No longer under the Delaware River Waters but just a mud hole now....Binghamton-=Wonder if the Washington St. Bridge is safe to cross now???..Vestal, Sidney .and the Beautiful Hamlet of Lew Beach NY where our family home was almost washed away by the Beaverkill River, lots of cleanup work to be done there, the Beaverkill did claim our Garage, but the neighbors brought 2 sides of it and the tools that were washed out of it back to the house. I've got some incredible pictures to show...but on Rad info we can't post pics....Let's work on that, shall we. Hope Jeff Olin is O.K. over there in Windsor NY. He is the Voice of the B-Mets!!!
between the lack of crowds and the horrible sound system, most people probably wouldn't miss him on the mic at the stadium.... though I must admit I've been to 19 games already this season.
