Flooding on the Delaware at Hancock, NY June 2k6

My wife lives in Hancock, NY; and was able to enjoy the June 2k6 flooding of the Delaware River there.
Happily she got the idea to grab her digital and get some snaps for posterity.

	The new NY 97 bridge. Now to get an idea of how the normal water level, take a gander of this shot of mine from 2k5; shot at the same location as the long shot on this page.
	The normal riverbank is at that sapling at the right. This can be seen at a different angle two snaps down.
	Looking west towards the bridge to Pennsylvania.
	Same location, looking north-it's easy to see where the riverbank would be.
	On the south sidewalk of the bridge to PA, facing west. This snap shows how things look from the PA side. Note that you can’ normally see the river.
	Immediately across from the last shot-Showing how far the river has come over it’s banks.
	Looking at the Delaware River Bridge from a southeastern angle. Note the debris in the water.
	Looking west on West Main Street in Hancock.
	Now this is a garage for submarines...
	This person used to have a riverfront lot. Gail did not see this as good planning.
	Not your best of luck here. These cars are parked in the owner’s driveway.
	This used to be someone’s back yard.
	As was this. Gail said that the floodwaters receded quickly, and left a minimum of damage to yards and such.
	Looking south from NY 268 just east of Hancock.
	Another waterlogged yard.
	This puts the above shot in perspective-at left is the building; and the fenceposts; and Gail is standing on the shoulder of NY 268- just a few feet from the water.
	Two locals assess the situation.
	South of Hancock on NY 97. My son, Josh suggested his mother grab these shots of a mudslide. NY 17 was closed, so was NY 97, but my wife managed to get out of Hancock, anyway; She was headed down to my daughter’s house to see how she was faring.
