Binghamton Flood 2006

[martinfan44]

and now we just had a flood that was 5 times worse than this. cars were completely under water at walmart, not just a little bit as shown here in 2006.

[whitethronebooks]

I never knew this happened. I lived in Endwell from 1984 to 1989.

[Wdel32]

At 2:35 I live right over that bridge and a day later that road after the bridge was covered in 3 ft of water. Everybody including me who lived up on the hill past the bridge was stranded for six days

[LannyB188]

Bad thing about people with strong words and no comon sense

it is all what they are.This person here is mad at the world has

nothing to say.Only slang words.Uneducated in need of a good

church.Can not have any type of words with him.He does not know

any other type.If the retard would have read what I said.He would

have seen I no longer live in broome county.But I will be him and say

Duh I can not read I am from hillbiily land.And i only know slang

words.

[67chevelle502]

lannyb188 go fuck yourself you piece of shit... only curse is that your werent washed down with it. your a douchebag and a weird fucking dude....when i make my way back to broome county we can meet up. lay off the crack you piece of shit. keep living in broome county and keep drinking the polluted water from ibm you trailer park turd burgalur

[LannyB188]

Bad thing about people who say I am nuts.But one thing they can

not get away from.And that is the past.Broome county had every

thing Jobs for one thing and this was when Jimmy Carter was

in office.All these business are gone.J.C.N.Y. main street is a

ghost town.Sins of the kids will be visted upon the heads of 4

genrations of the kids.They say pay back is hell.I would never

move back to broome county N.Y.I have nothing but biterness

towards those people who did what they did to my brother

[LannyB188]

If you sat there is no curse.You need to ask yourself something

ibm.ibm country club EJ shoe factory.The carmal factory.And a

lot of small business are no longer their why?The all went out

between 1981 and 1991.The first part of the curse second

part was the flood.I am writeing a book on the broom county

curse.And why this old lady cursed broome county n.y.some

thing happen in 1981 I do not know the ladys name but I was

there the day the curse came down.and I know who the curse

aimed at

[LannyB188]

i was born in binghamton n.y. in 1965.I left in 1981 in June

there is a lot more to this flood then anyone knows.I left Johnson

city N.Y. because of the curse that was brought down on the

people of broome county.If you want to know more just write

me and I will tell you.The curse is this the sins of the past will

reveal itself on to the heads of the parents,that of there kids

as well as there kids and there grand kids.the curse came

down in 1981 june 25 years latter the curse still there

[mmellander]

@LannyB188 your nuts

[steve9509]

@LannyB188 wtf?

[whitethronebooks]

@LannyB188 All I know is, that valley was the most depressing place I have ever lived. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I almost committed suicide twice while living there.

[DJTinez13]

[DJTinez13]

[confuzzledgirl94]

hey look it's Antoine Dodson(bed intruder) at 0:35! hahahaha

[willowemp]

Nice job, thank you!

[unsw1tchd]

it sounds like he's singing "but if I can't shit after 40 days" @ 0:26

[12345dogs54321]

I live in Vestal The flood wasn't that bad 1 inch of water in the basement my neighbor got 2 feet

[poonkinator]

@12345dogs54321 Thousands of peoples' lives were destroyed by this flood, Particularly in Conklin, Harpursville, Chenango Forks, Delaware County, Downtown Binghamton, Endicott, Endwell. Just because you live up in the Hills of Vestal and didnt get hit hard doesnt mean the flood "wasn't that bad"

[HazeFerRillz]

nice video

check my channel for more flood and views.

[HookersFancyMe]

Ahh that was fun times I remember. Good thing I was at my gf's house and she lives on the sec floor of her place. That was a crazy time

[gloopy2309]

i remember people were kyaking and canoeing at macarthur school cuz the water was like 10 feet deep

it was awesome

[mattyboyy11]

lol wallmart 1:41

[roswellmack]

i miss that place...

[parkerkowens]

Dude Awsome Video!!

[TheDoorInc]

i had to go all the wayto cortland with two dogs and because the creek in my back yard was friken high as hell

[krazione32]

i remember hoping they would close the school(BHS) cause it was so high...lol... then it was so crowded on Main Street, binghamton... it was like a parade day... and they closed down the bridge.... that summer was really scary...

[Boogenhiemer]

i remember the ue football feild was underwater

[masterbrawler111]

lol, at 2:07 it showed my house

[Dnizz4011]

I remember the interstate 17 was completely covered near apalachin. As for UE I went there when they started the new field and they were completely stupid to spend that amount of money on it when it flood almost every year

[flacaflaca1415]

I live in Binghamton now and did when that traggic happened. It was so sad. I was actually at Walmart, it was raining all day but we didn't think it was going to get that bad. When we came out of Walmart it was about 2 inches of rain on the ground so we were like its probably not worse in Binghamton when we got to the southside to get to the Eastside it ws horrible we couldn't get into Carlisle cause it was flooded and we were just driving around cause we had nowhere to go. It was sad & bad.

[RockxRollx4Life]

i come from Vestal (i live in PA now) but I went up there about a week after the flood and I was really appalled at what I saw it was just really bad. you did a good job making this video. always good to see someone who's still concerned about their beautiful southern tier

[wowyouidiots]

it was amazing. seeing something like that.specially when it came to the other side and didnt get our side of the street.

[SeNzFaN19]

Asshole

[joewarner30]

anyone from pride manor , foutain blue or stillwater? :)

[rebornfaith1]

I grew up in the area and moved away years ago. It has been hard to imagine the destruction without seeing it. Now I have seen some of it, it is no wonder there is still rebuilding going on. I can't explain the feeling I had seeing UEHS flooded. I used to play H.S. sports down there.God help this area to recover and prosper.

[CorrieeBeex3]

i was there and like those arent even the worst parts.

[Mazarax]

Awesome coverage of the flood. I love the end of the video, STOP!

[operator74]

the video shows real shit! i lived in binghamton on mcdonald ave right next to the river. no it wasn't all flooded but, the river was out of control and could've gotten a hell of alot worse.... count those blessings

[VirginiaBeachEstates]

bing, "lift me up" i feel like im drownin again.

[MusicCndctr]

Great vid. Esp love the view of IBM Country Club/Traditions

[baller022s]

uehs got killed

[PokerKidAA]

i live in vestal and i was down at my buddys house across the street from the town square mall overlooking the walmart parking lot, and we just sat on his porch drinkin beers watching so many people try to gun it through the water, flooding their engines.. and one guy was in a fuckin inner tube.. it was crazy shit, nothing like it has ever happened

[cjbhunter]

i was in that video omg

[stinkyfinger6]

I lve in Binghamton I wasent that bad

[WARRENJRAGTOP]

What you said. Or NOT. Some people lost everything. A lifetime of hard work, gone. People bounce back, but that additude is LAME. Didn't affect me, I'm all good! Have a good one when you wake up.

[mmellander]

Your a tool. It was way worse then I even show in this video (it was taken early on) and the devastation continues today. Take a drive through Conklin where homes are still being rebuilt or torn down.

[SeNzFaN19]

maybe for you not for other people tho

[marybob321]

@stinkyfinger6 yup wat he said

[67chevelle502]

@stinkyfinger6 your a douchebag you dumb ass lay off the crack

[WJRAGTOP]

I live in Apalchin. Devastating the destructive power of water. The lives of family and friends effected was almost too much to imagine. We all came together! "lift me up!" Thanks for posting.

[birdleson]

I grew up there. I had no idea it was like that.

[dizturbedsoul21]

oh wow...yeah i live in Johnson City, and I can't believe how bad it got over by Toys R Us. People were kayaking in the parking lot. I live down the road from the old Maines building on Grand Ave, and people who have lived in the area for years said it NEVER got that bad. I was working at friendly's at the time, and even in the midst of the advisory, we got the most business....Scary ass shit.

[mikegr190]

tht was a crazy ass flood, i went all over the place w/ my sister like u did, the first place we stopped at was the ue highschool, cause we knew tht place got hit hard

[duhGOD]

yea bingo was real fucked up after the flood..

[meatpuppet28]

yes assome video , i was there  assome job

[missyme9090]

I was hit by that flood.. so this is kinda hard to watch.. but great job on it..

[m432m]

Great video, but perhaps the song "Flood" by the band Tool would provide another perspective on this water.

[SCross440]

The South Side of Binghamton was crazy in traffic that week. Nuts it was.

[varsityswim17]

hands down, thumbs up, the best 2006 flood video!

[varsityswim17]

the events of the other day reminded me of june

[haganegenkotsu]

yeah, the flooding up here was just that bad. Carp were swimming around in Greenfield park in J.C. The current rainfall isn't so pretty, either.

[alparon]

well i left binghamton just in time

[bettablue1]

Thanks so much for posting this. I used to live there and miss it. I learned to drive in the triple cities, and know what these areas are supposed to look like. I cry when I watch this. I love the song too, and downloaded it separately since watching this! Excellent!

[Mozee]

I got stuck at the arcade in the Vestal Plaza on the night of the flood. (I live out in Port Crane) I had to stay at a friend's house for the night because of the roads. It was a weird feeling to wake up to the sight of a house floating down the river on TV.

[gottatufa]

Was stuck in evacuated Nineveh during the flood so was interested to see how bad it got in the triple cities. It was baaadd.... Nice video, great music.

[vamperon]

Wow.. I go to school in the area (BU) and am only glad I wasn't there to see that kind of flooding. I wish all the residents of the area the best of luck in recovering.

[jim7273]

thanks for sharing, grew up in the area

[Gamecock28]

Thanks!  I live overseas, but I grew up in the area (Sidney) so I know most of what is seen here. I've had difficulty finding anything that truly shows the scope of the damage this flood caused.
