I drive through this town on my way to my place in stamford two times a month. God bless everyone in this town I wish you all the best of luck. How long do you think until road is fixed up so people can drive up 23 and drop off supplies and continue going north or is this a very stupid ????? I heard town was in real bad shape.thanks
They started demolishing the buildings that can't be salvaged this week. Pastor Charlie and Pastor George from Huntersfield Christian Training Center (hctconline org) is in charge of the volunteer coordination (Great American by the trailers). They're seeking skilled volunteers to help actually rebuild the town if you're interested. They're also in need of construction material such as 2x6, sheathing, ect... So if you some xtra drop it off by the trailers, I'm sure it'll be put to good use
We were looking at an old house for sale in Prattsville. It is still standing and we are still considering buying it. I have made a donation and my husband and I plan to go up and help in Oct. They have assured me that they will still need help and volunteers will be welcome. Volunteer by calling Charle Golke 581-925-8235. Centralia Heart
my brother was traped in a house there i saw my daddy cry fro the first time ever b/c he thought he was going to lose is son i can't imgain what it was like to watch that water rise and watch other people's houses fall
All I have to say, is to all y'all...I am so sorry for what happened. A few members from my fire department (Millwood Fire Company) And some of our neighboring departments went up there on Sunday, 9-11-11..and all of us were just devastated. Please Contact us if there is anything we can do. You can go through me directly if needed...Find me on facebook. Scott Bubba Drexler is the name. Again, on behalf of our departments, we're all so sorry, and glad to have helped with donations.
I lived in Prattsville for many yrs then in 09 i moved to SC.I worked at the prattsville diner for a long time.this is all so heartbreaking.To my prattsville family I love you all stay strong i am praying for you all.I don't know who made this video but you did a amazing job.
@shannonlee081509 I drove through Prattsville every weekend when I went upstate to Jefferson. Then I moved there. The tears are still coming down for all the damage and the Pain and suffering that is out there. My Thoughts and Prayers go out to everyone there. I also moved to SC. In Duncan. Where are you located shannonlee
@shannonlee081509 So close, but yet so far. While I'm here I want to Thank everyone one who is keeping us informed on the progress in NY. I would love to go there and help out but the travel and lodging is out of the question. All Hotels and Motels are booked up solid. So accept my donation and Please let my money go to those who need it. And to the people of Prattsville and to all who were affected by this flooding, Beware of Scammers, and rebuild. Build strong and I pray to be there soon .
Is the National Guard deployed in Prattsville? and if they are, approximately how many troops and functioning in what capacity? Would the YouTube community/world like to know what is currently transpiring in Prattsville? True Journalism not Yellow Journalism is about who, what, where and when, and Why is deciphered by the viewers.
Prayers and well wishes from Schenectady. We aren't as bad as Prattsville but we have our work cut out for us too. I am volunteering for flood cleanup in my area and I urge everyone to help their local communities in any way they can.
I lived in the house across the street from the dinner for 6 Months back in 1995. I just road threw Prattsville about a Month ago on my Motorcycle and though to myself how the town had hardly changed and still had all the Classic small town Charm sad to see it in such shape now !
Always loved the Taverns Slogan "Must Have Got Lost" Wishing everyone in Prattsville the best !
Our family is collecting clothing, food and money for Prattsville; a town in which we built our cabin and spent 34 years. Anyone know where we can deliver these items. As soon as we know we will drive them up from Connecticut.
Also are you collecting household items as well or not yet?
Please let me know.
Our thoughts and prayers are with this wonderful kind town.
I have a house in stamford.Does anyone know if I can go through route 28 and take county route 38 in arkville then jump on 30 to grand gorge? Im sure 23 through pratsville will be closed for a long time. Thanks for the help
Our family had a cabin in Prattsville for 34 years. Many great memories! We live in Connecticut and want to help..We are collecting donations of food, clothing money is being donated to Prattsville relief fund. Can someone post where we can bring or send these items or a contact. Thanks. Our thoughts and prayers go out all of you!!!!
These videos are the only way we know what is going on in Prattsville. Can someone video the actual people in town so we can be assured that they are ok? Specifically I am worried about Bob and Ginny Gurley and Stella Cross. Thanks!
@lmarie0529 I live about half an hour from there and so far ive herd the people made it out ok. Much more then we can say for what they spent their entire life building :(
@lmarie0529 we are all fine. homes and property can be rebuilt in maby a few more months to a year. about 85% of the town is gone but we are rebuilding. my house along with very few homes were not efected. i wish i could say the same for many of the town. i saw stella cross and she was fine. the physical damage is nothing to the emotional. we are getting better but town still lay in ruin thx 4 your concern.
Anyone knows for sure if the 42 notch is open??? or 214... or the Bridge in Lexington is open??? Or Mosquito Point Bridge? RSVP…Part of 42 notch on Ulster side just got power & phone service back on 9/1 11;00 AM, heard have to go exit 20 and go up mountain...
Anyone know if they are letting anyone in with Gas Genarators & Pumps for Humanatarian Aid... Trying to assemble a few trade people who hunt in Prattsville.. Maybe can get a few boilers started if oil tanks are not flooded... trying to set a Monday trip...anyone has any incite?
@johnnybagofdonets Johnny: I have a backhoe/loader at my place in Grand Gorge. I will try to make it up this weekend but not sure if my assistance with this type equipment is needed or welcomed at this point??? Send me your contact info separately if you'd like to communicate.
I had never heard of Prattsville until I rented a vacation home up there for my birthday, the week of August 12-19. I cannot believe that one week later, this cute little town would be decimated like this. Everyone in the town was so nice to use. I'm putting this on my FB page. Like someone said, the news is pretty much ignoring this area.
I am completely devastated by this. I own a home on the mountain in Prattsville and live in the city- I am going to set up a donation here and send up care boxes with my father who goes up there every weekend- he is on his way up there now to help out. God Bless-we will rebuild!
Have been going to Prattsville almost every weekend since 1966 - My thoughts and prayers are with my weekend neighbors and friends. Thanks for this great video.... and for information on making donations!!
I have made numerous postings on facebook and have asked my job to set up a donation, i may personally take the rest of the week off and head up there. this is unreal.
Good job on this. Love the song selection. I Too am in SC, but a Margaretville native. Out hearts are with you guys. Our tears fall for our beloved Catskill home.
my heart and love goes out to my prattsville family and friends i miss and love u guys my thoughts and prayers r going out to u guys.. please stay strong..
my home town were my kids ran the streets and played were everyone looked out for everyone.were i lived were i worked.i am now in SC but this town will always be my home.i miss you prattsville and no matter how far away i am now i will always be there.you are all strong and this town will be rebuilt.stay strong.I LOVE YOU MY PVILLE FAMILY.YOUR IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.This is breaking my heart to see this :(
As of now they are in much need of Money, they cant give out clothes because ppl are still all over the place. there is LACK of this story in the NEWS! i am in NYC and probably wouldnt know anything if my family didnt live in Hunter! Please let this story be heard. send emails to your local news companies. We help so many other ppl and other countries Greene County is DEVASTATED!
Monetary donations can be sent to: Irene Relief Fund, c/o Windham Chamber of Commerce, PO Box 613, Windham, NY 12496 they are splitting amoung the towns. Prattsville really has nothing left. they are in much need of EVERYTHING. there is no GAS, Bread, Milk,Eggs.. the simple staples. there is limited roads and bridge left and the main mountain road thru 23A is closed so there wont be any deliveries.
you can make a wood stove out of an old 55 gal drum and heat water, I went thru IVAN and Dennis and the thing you miss the most after a while, is just being clean. and communications. Anyone know if Bovina Center is still there out east in delaware co??? Julianne2saw@yahoo.com You guys dont need milk or bread or eggs and can be ok with canned tuna, and canned spagetti, trust me. and some camp stoves a lot of sharing phones and stoves, you can make it. This is a great video.
@queenschix Question??? Gotta go up the old dump road near Red Falls, and come around Huntersfeild Road? any word on any ot the notches, 42, 214, 296, Jewett Road, 23C ???
My eyes are open, I can see it blow in the wind, with my eyes closed and not physical, I feel it beating across my skin, means the realist thing is the unseen, you want 2 “CLICK MY NAME” 2 know what I mean, it is no secret for I HAVE FOUND IT!
I also have a weekend place near Prattsville. Can't believe the images. Is there anything we can do to help people? Material items for people that don't have them any longer? (Clothing etc..) Is anyone organizing an effort like this?We'd like to do what I can. Please post here if there is. Thanks
@mca1625 Also found this: " We need help. ITEMS NEEDED: clean pants, shorts, shirts sweatshirts, sweaters, blankets/sheets, towels, toiletries, and baby formula. Please bring to anything you can to Belleayre Mountain front desk at the upper area. Look for "Kenzi's Disaster Relief Drive" We will get them to people in need in the community. From the The Belleayre Conservatory, P.O Box 198, HIghmount, New York 845-254-5600 ext. 1344
I spend a week every summer in a cabin up old ferris farm rd. I weep for your beautiful little town. Please don't despair. I know the measure of your citizens and you will rebuild and make old Zadock Pratt proud of you. God be with you.
