Hurricane Irene Response - Helping Our Neighbors in Need!

A note from  a neighbor...

After church Sunday at Emmanuel Reformed, we discussed what we could do to help those in nearby areas so drastically affected by Irene. I called the volunteer relief team in Schoharie and it was decided we would bring bag lunches.  We mobilized our church family at the last minute and had them meet us at church Monday evening with the makings of  bag lunches.  Donors were so generous ! Tuesday morning 5 of us "lunch Ladies" and 2 of the men headed out.  No matter what you've seen on TV, the reality of the disaster is so much greater!  The village is in ruins.  What once was a pretty little Main Street with hanging baskets on the light posts, is now a muddy mess of destruction.

Village of Castleton boil water advisory lifted

Boil Water Advisory

Village of Castleton now under a boil water advisory. If you live in the village or use its water supply (like Castle Ridge) please bring your water to a full boil for at least two minutes before using.

I guess this explains why people BUY water!  Now I get it!

Castleton Reservoir

Irene stopped by Castleton and dumped enough water to flood the pump-house.  DPW workers spent the day closing roads and directing traffic, unplugging storm drops where water was coming up from the manholes. They spent hours clearing downed trees and assessing the damage. The Deputy Mayor and the Town Supervisor put into place a suggested evacuation of Main Street during high tide at about 6:30 p.m.

The boys worked most of the day to be sure that residents are safe and keep the Village roads are passable.
