Hurricane Irene - Catskills - Margaretville, NY

Hurricane Irene has been less insignificant than most people think. The Catskills region of NY has been devastated. This is Margaretville, NY. It is completely under raging water. That grocery store is where we stocked up for the storm yesterday. There are so many towns up here like this (or worse). People will be needing help.

@SkoalFirePrincess America is godless, feeling-less society where right wing hate is spewed through church mouthpieces. god is striking your country down and will continue to do so until you are no longer at the top of the economic foodchain. 911 was an answer to worldwide prayers !god answered with condemnation! god bless the innocent people of this world and GOD STRIKE DOWN THE HATEFUL AMERICAN WHO BOMB INNOCENTS TO OBLIVION

@newjerseydev Hey scum bag think before you type there are eight churches in this little town ass hole. Almost every one here was a Sunday worshiper so fuck your assumptions that we're unholy atheists that are condemned to die.

@r4baloons Amen!

@MightyLoosh Most people evacuated only two deaths heard of. One elderly woman refused to leave her home and one person had a heart attack.

@Exiledwasp People are truly unbelievable.

@sixthgatebass I hope something like this happens to you one day. It will be enough to punish you for your negligence.

@julianne2saw They ran for higher ground I imagine. I haven't seen any for two weeks now. I imagine they're higher up in the mountains. They have truly amazing instincts.

@horsenaround There was a dam in fleischmanns that was drained due to fear of breakage. These rivers that are shown here are 4-6 ft deep MAYBE. Unless flash floods are going to be a repeat thing we really couldn't utilize as much as you would think. So many people are leaving our community and just giving up. FEMA has helped very few and many have found themselves homeless. The red cross has helped the most. We never saw Tide Loads of Hope or the Salvation Army. Walmart was here though.
