Rockland and Orange were considered to be among some of the worst.That area essentially turned into a rushing river. The fast-moving rain left cars submerged under water in places like Thayer Road at West Point, which saw almost 8 inches of rainfall -- some of the highest totals in the Tri-State Area.
"She and her dog were crossing to where her car was parked, which was a flood of river. And she walked across and lost her footing," County Executive Steve Neuhaus said."I'm trying to respond to people that are trapped, their house is in danger of either washing away, collapsing, or elderly people who are evacuated from one of the nursing homes here."In Rockland County, crews at a park near Lowland Hill Road in Stony Point rescued a man by boat.
