Storm causes road debris and flooding in Warren County, Warren County NY
TrafficA storm in Warren County has caused several roads near Mountain Rd to be partially blocked by fallen trees and debris. Power lines are down in some areas, and cell service is intermittent. Flooding has led people to abandon vehicles near Jackson Heights Elementary School due to full parking lots. Wind damage and heavy rain continue, but traffic is still moving with some obstructions. Kensington School is closed from flooding, and people are redirected to other shelters. Minor injuries are reported among those arriving at shelters.

I am to Fort Hudson Nursing Home in Washington County.
00:05
The roads are
00:07
travelable, but definitely some trees down and debris in the road.
00:12
I was able to monitor the Hudson River,
00:15
per the instructions from Dave earlier,
00:20
and the level of the river is up, but it's not at flood level yet.
00:26
This is N1 Indian immobile route to Fort Hudson. Out.
00:37
Good, N2MC, that control. This is an exercise, this is an exercise.
00:42
We do have N1 NBN in route to Huston, for Hudson Nursing Home.
00:47
There are some trees down in the road,
00:49
passable, and the level of the river is up for Nia. Let's take out.
01:05
N2U portable.
01:06
That control, over.
01:11
This is, Nat control, N2U, go.
01:14
A 2VU portable.
01:16
This is an exercise.
01:17
This is an exercise.
01:19
Some of the people showing up at the campus here to shelter are saying that they came here from Prospect School on Aviation near the fire station. They say that there are a lot of people starting to show up over there.
01:31
They were confused among them.
01:33
They're saying that there should be some notices or signs on the doors to direct people here so that the crowds don't keep gathering.
01:41
So somehow contact us. somebody to maybe put some signs over there so we don't have a growing crowd of people wondering if they could shelter at that location.
01:50
Those information just shared by some of the people showing up here and to view.
01:59
This is, an interim seat.
02:01
Now control.
02:03
In QVU, we have you at, still at Queensbury High School. We have noticed that the Prospect School, it's a fantastic Prospect School that you need this signage.
02:17
Wreck, there should be some signage or some way of diverting people, which is something that's clear they get from, they come over here.
02:24
Several people over here were saying really flustered that they were amongst a crowd over there, and then they came over here looking for shelter.
02:32
So something to know. There are people starting to gather at that school thinking it's possibly a shelter, but the doors are locked. Apparently not. Nothing going on there.
02:46
This is N2C, not control.
02:49
All copies. Make sure that input. N2MC out.
02:54
2MC out. Video out.
03:01
2MC K85 VBI at the hospital got the radio specs, don't work.
03:08
This is anthony K5 deviI. We got you loud and clear.
03:15
So I'm monitoring 5-2 and 220, over.
03:25
Good, and so we've seen that at control.
03:28
85EBI. You got you at Glenthal's Hospital honoring the station and 5-2 and 20.
03:35
Out.
03:40
Control KC2 ODL.
03:46
Key LODE, go ahead.
03:48
Kensington School is closed, there's water damage and flooding to all shelter areas there.
03:55
They're turning everybody away, and they routed them to Jackson Heights Elementary School here in Glent Falls. I'm at this current location.
04:06
Parking lots are full.
04:08
All the parking on the street is full, and currently people are abandoning their cars.
04:14
towards the main entrance.
04:16
Winds are picking up. Quite a few trees are recently down in the road, some on top of cars.
04:24
And this is an exercise.
04:34
This is N2C2ODL. We have you at Kensington School,
04:40
which is now closed due to flooding and they are rooting people to Jackson High School. Thanks for the info, N2MTMT.
04:49
This is the next slide, N2OMSC.
04:53
To be affordable to NAC control, I'd like to pose a question to the Ludswaltz Hospital, EOC.
05:00
Over.
05:03
This is, Net Control, N2MC.
05:06
N2VU, go ahead and go directly with K85VI at the lunch all time.
05:12
The KUVVVI VVI, we're N2VU.
05:16
N2VU, Khabi VBI at the hospital.
05:21
You're at N2VU. You said you're listening also on 5-2. The radio that's listening on Simplex, is it the one that's on the antenna down by the window or the antenna up at the tower? I just tried you from my mobile.
05:35
at the parking lot at the campus here at Queensbury School, and I called you with no reply.
05:42
I'm wondering if it's possible for you to use the radio with the antenna on the tower. You might be able to copy.
05:50
Some of the people starting to show up. Some have minor injuries.
05:54
We might have a need to communicate with the hospital to let them know what our status is here with any injuries and how to follow through over.
06:06
Roger, Roger.
06:09
I'm having a problem with, oh, let me get out the repeater here.
06:13
I'm having a problem with the radio.
06:16
The one that says regional, is that the tall antenna or the small antenna?
06:21
One says local, one says regional. I'm assuming the local would be the lower antenna. I'm on the one that says regional. Over?
06:31
Okay,
06:33
so the one that's regional would be the antenna that's up on the tower.
06:37
Since you're talking mainly through Prospect, you can put the regional radio on 5-2, since that antenna is much higher.
06:46
Anybody operating Simplex will be able to talk to you at least the far greater chances, as were the one that is local will very easily, effortlessly talk through Prospect, repeat here over.
07:04
Okay,
07:06
I just heard you on 5-2 really well. I'm going to communicate with you there.
07:11
We'll clear the repeater.
07:12
N2VU, out. I will QSY now to 5-2 on my other radio with Glens Falls Hospital. Out.
07:34
