What happened
The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
Heavy rains resulted in the Hudson River rising out of its banks around the Stillwater Flats in Saratoga county between May 14 and 16. The flooding was minor as the waters only spilled onto the flats themselves and did not affect the houses, but flooded portions of U.S. Highway Route 4. The river crested at 91.2 feet, 1.2 feet above flood stage. This was the fourth time this year the river flooded the Stillwater Flats.
