Second day of storms causes further damage in southern Chenango

CHENANGO COUNTY – Late afternoon thunderstorms Monday have exacerbated damage caused by flash flooding Sunday, particularly in the Towns of Oxford and Greene, according to the county’s emergency management office.

“Clearly there is well over $150,000 worth of damage at this point,” reported Emergency Management Officer A. Wesley Jones, an estimate he said he expects to climb even higher as further assessments are made.

Although all three of the county roads closed because of washouts and debris yesterday morning have been reopened to traffic, Jones said each will still require work.
