June 28, 2016, was the third anniversary of the Mohawk Valley Flood. Local businesses and homes suffered millions in damage. Some of our neighbors lost everything.

The Mohawk Valley Flooding of 2013 devastated the area costing us millions. FEMA was brought in to help, and Governor Cuomo flew into Mohawk to offer support. It took weeks for the water to recede.  Afterward, whenever it rained, you could feel the tension as we wondered if it was going to happen again. What an incredibly hard time for our area to say the least.

When Severe thunderstorms ripped through Central New York yesterday bringing torrential rain, hail, thunder, lightning, and flooding in certain areas, some people were remembering the flood of 2013.

Rachel Witter, Eyewitness News Chief Meteorologist, says the incredible clouds we saw yesterday are called Undulatus Asperatus and means 'roughness.' Rachel says they're created by agitated waves of air going up and down near a thunderstorm without rain falling from them because they're non-precipitating clouds.
