Brooklyn pol’s bill to disclose flood info to homebuyers is long overdue
Flash floods barraged upstate homes last week in the lower Hudson Valley and other northern city suburbs, causing major flooding and delays on Metro-North, and disrupting transit between the city and Westchester, Rockland and Orange counties.
According to LoHud, the record rainfall in the area ranged between two to four inches, and in some places (specifically, in the easternmost portion of the region neighboring Connecticut), it was projected to be up to eight inches.
On Sunday, July 9, a father and son were rescued from a hiking trail as a flash flood hit Stony Point, and the storms claimed the life of one Orange County resident.
