Today in weather history the combination of a predecessor period of rain and a direct strike from tropical storm Irene brought epic flooding of historic proportions to parts of eastern New York and throughout much of Vermont as part of its rampage through the Northeast. Towns like Margaretville and Fleischmans in eastern Delaware County, Windham, Maplecrest, and Prattsville in Greene County along with all the towns and villages along the Schoharie Creek in Schoharie County, from Gilboa, through Middleburgh, Schoharie, and Esperance, were inundated to levels not seen before.
