Hurricane Irene Aftermath in New Milford, CT

[basspig]

This is almost as much flooding as the one we had in the late '70s when an ice dam formed in the Housatonic, blocking much of the flow and causing it to overflow it's banks. I remember seeing only the very top of the phone booth sticking out of the water at Southworth's near the traffic circle. The flood was all the way up rt 7 to McDonald's, which was quite a bit worse than this.

The real damage happened in Windham, NY and other areas inland.

haha you kids think that water is high i remember in the early 80's that bridge at youngs field had water flowing over it, oh yeah and the trailer that sat behind the liquor store across from the state garage i think thats a storage place now ended up two miles down river

Don't wade in flood water in "civilized" areas. There's all kinds of crap in that water including pesticides and herbicides from lawns. If cars are underwater there's gas and oil in the mix.
