Interesting that you mentioned Catskills and Amsterday. We are located at the mouth of the Mohawk River and the flood waters were the results of run off from the Catskills and the Adarondacks. Both have tributaries that feed into the Mohawk including Schoharie Creek! About 24 years ago the run off from the Schoharie Creek caused a bridge to collapse killing several people. One of the victoms was the next door neighbor of one of my employees back then. You can read more about it at:
