Massive flooding swept through the village of Fleishmann’s New York, (located in Delaware County), after a lake and streams turned a local street into a river.
The Valkyrian Motel was caught in the flood, and everyone ran to safety. Unfortunately, one elderly woman, Leah Stern, was unable to escape the fast moving waters, and has gone missing.
Rabbi Joel Gold a chaplain with the Delaware Sheriff Department tells YWN that rescue crews from fire departments in Broome County have been called to assist with searching for her. Rescue boats are currently in the water and searching.
According to eyewitnesses, the motel literally floated away in the raging waters.
Please say Tehillim for Leah Rivka bas Faiga.
