History repeats itself! This time the Catt and the Silver/Walnut Creeks outdid the one from a couple years ago. Now we have to deal with the tires, railroad ties, trees, logs, homes, bridges and other junk floating in the lake. The Thruway Bridge luckily survived. THE WATER WAS ABOUT A FOOT FROM THE GIRDERS AND A TREE COULD HAVE PLUGGED IT UP TO RAISE THE WATER OVER IT. Be aware that this could happen at any marina and when the weather threatens, you should do something to protect your boat and homes. Gowanda and Silver Creek took some bad hits. My golf course lost three bridges, so half the course is closed till a long time. Say a prayer for those who are suffering from the rain storms.

It is Wide Beach which is just outside of the mouth of Catt. Creek. Boats beached or flat out sunk all over the place. Cottage was fine. I'll post a bunch of other pics tomorrow.

Wow- I came home yesterday for the Oak and saw the Catt- Raging is an understatement- I knew there had to be extensive damage down below-Thoughts and prayers to those who were effected- Duane
