We are on the banks of the Erie Canal in Ilion NY. Just now a whole lot of plant and wood debris started coming down the canal. And the water has turned muddy brown. The marina manager told us yesterday that the canal water level had been lowered 2 feet in anticipation of the storm. The level is higher than yesterday, but nowhere near overflowing. It’s raining lightly and there are lots of people here watching the canal.

Never a good feeling when debris appears and water color changes. Have you heard any local report updates?
