Yes the Gulick's are from Binghamton, I sent Pete and Jill a PM last night when I realized how bad the flooding had gotten and haven't heard from them yet. I believe they were in Indiana over the weekend watching Coleman race and when I saw the reports of the flooding I was hoping they were still in Indiana. Since they haven't posted anything on here yet my guess is they are dealing with the flooding and hope they all stay safe.

The news is calling it historical record flooding, this area also saw severe flooding in 2006 with lives lost. I am praying everyone on the east coast stay safe during this flooding and no lives are lost.

The news also just reported that the thruway is currently open but will probably be closed today from exit 24 Albany to Exit 33 Verona, last week when they had to do this the east bound traffic was sent down I81 to Binghamton to I88 and sent back to Albany that way. I would think that is impossible with the current flooding to reroute traffic that way. This is the stretch of the thruway I have to travel to see my family in Ballston Lake, N. Y., it will be the second time in a week that the thruway is closed down to flooding and over the weekend in the Amsterdam area a tornado crossed the thruway. Just reported the thruway will be closed down soon.

My prayers are with everyone in the southern tier of N. Y. state as well as the rest of the east coast dealing with this flooding.
