The Cobleskill Creek and tributaries flooded in and around Cobleskill. Major flooding occurred on the campus of the State University of New York at Cobleskill. Five dorms and some academic buildings were damage due to the flooding. Classes were cancelled as of 12:45 pm EST Wednesday, September 7th, and remained cancelled on Thursday and Friday. All Cobleskill-Richmondville Central Schools were closed on Wednesday and remained closed on Thursday. Students and staff were sheltered in four district buildings because roads were closed in the area and buses could not get through to bring students home. It was reported that as many as 1,000 students were sheltered once classes were cancelled. This number was down to about 100 by 5 pm EST with 8 students ending up spending the night. Water damage occurred to homes and businesses and the fairgrounds flooded. The following road closures were reported: Route 7 from Warnerville into Cobleskill, Route 7 from Burgon Drive to Forester Road, South Grand Street from Main Street to Mineral Springs Road, Elm Street from North Grand to Warnerville cut-off, and Route 145 from Settles Mountain Road from Lawyersville into Cobleskill.
Law enforcement personnel reported that State Route 7 was closed due to flooding from the Cobleskill Creek at the east end of the village of Cobleskill.
