| January 2019 | Flood | Troy | $350,000 | A surge of ice and water from the prior day's heavy rain and snowmelt moved down the Hudson River and tore a total of ten vessels lose from their moorings above the Federal Dam in Troy during the predawn hours of the 25th. The vessels included tugboats, barges, a cruise ship, and a floating restaurant. Some of the vessels struck bridges, some ran aground, and at least one sunk. The loose vessels prompted the closing of several bridges between Troy and Albany over the Hudson during the morning rush hour, including the Patroon Island Bridge that carries Interstate 90. Amtrak trains crossing the river were forced to reduce their speed as a precaution. The vessels were secured by 11 am. Monetary damage amounts were estimated. |
