The water is no longer overflowing Rice Creek dam, and they opened County Rt 89 this morning. Rice Creek enters Lake Ontario about 1 mile from my house.
I'm safe, but Lakeshore Road (my street) currently dead ends at the swamp just down the road. No longer a swamp, but a river. I did have to go out in the rain a couple of times to clear the driveway drain - a bit of water in the garage...
Could be worse. The Theatre Department where I used to work had close to $1,000,000 worth of brand new equipment stored in the lab theatre. Yesterday, the water was 3" - 4" deep in the room, with audio & lighting equipment on the floor.
