Historic Floods Hit New York Capital Region, Albany, Saratoga

A big storm brought a lot of rain to New York’s Capital Region and Hudson Valley.

The rain was so heavy that roads got flooded, houses were damaged, and one building even fell down.

People had to rescue others from the water.

The storm was slow, so it stayed over the area for a long time.

The amount of rain was almost 10 inches, but people had only expected 2 to 4 inches, so it was a surprise.
