Most of the mountaintop communities of Greene county are still without power. Many bridges are washed away and roads are impeded. This is ver alarming considering the elderly population of the area along with the lack of official warning.

RobertJT on Twitter reports that radio WRIP, which has been heroically covering the flooding in Windham all day while running on generator power, is going home:

WRIP, Windham, running on a generator and staffed all day by only 1 host on air, has decided to sign off for the night.

Windham, Ashland, Jewett, Hunter, Tannersville and Lexington are almost totally cut off.
