@tytlane - No, all of the dams held but were badly damaged.

@giantsfan562001 - Yes, one woman was killed. She was in her home, confined to a wheelchair. The water rose rapidly and lifted the house off its foundation. There was nothing her husband and neighbors could do to rescue her. The water was chest high and the current was so swift it would have killed them as well. Another man died of a heart attack while helping his relatives retrieve their belongings.

I live in Owego ny which looks like this place got it just as bad. I was trapped for about a week and well I hope things have returned to normal there because for us it's going to take years

@shwnsgr8 I believe the term you're looking for is "douche nozzle" :)

this would be a good representation of what happened.... however, since it has a giant "Lance Wheeler Video" plastered across it, I think this is just someone stroking his own ego as a newsman. my blessings go out to the people of Windham... all except Lance, who is using this as an advertisement.

the windshield wipers appear to be particularly effective.
