If you are familiar with the Walesville area of Oriskany Creek here's a pic I took on my way to work... The parking area at the intersection is being used by the people who live their to park their cars... As you can see in the photo that home has a road that run along the stream in front of it....

Things are crazy!!! They said on the news this morning that Death Valley could set a new world record high temp today. The current record is 134 F.
     One more with the one we're after and we'll have two.

Just heard the Lowes store in Herkimer which is in a low area and has the Mohawk River behind it and the West Canada Creek to the right of it has 6 feet of water in it....   :o

Raquette, that spillway is about 12' tall ... just for a little insight..

Clark Mills American Legion, right on the bank of Oriskany Creek literally within 50 yards of it.. There is about a 10' plus earth retaining wall on the bank there... The water is up to the porch which is about 6'...
