Flooding occurred along the Hudson River in Saratoga County. Numerous roadways, houses and riverside camps were flooded. Some properties had several feet of water in them.||In Schuylerville, a family had to be evacuated from their Schuyler Island home. Flood waters from the Hudson River undermined the back of the house, tore out an in-ground pool and inundated the house with up to 5 1/2 feet of water. Route 29, Ferry Road which crosses Schuyler Island, was closed between Route 4/32 and County Route 113, River Road. Fort Hardy Park went underwater.||In Stillwater, Route 4 from Wilber Road to River Road along the Hudson River was alternating one-way traffic due to flooding. Flooding also occurred on Ferry lane, River Road and Bunce Lane along the Hudson River.
