Nov 9, 1996
From Friday morning November 8 to Saturday morning November 9, a slow moving low pressure system tracked from northern Pennsylvania to northern New York. This system dumped 2 to 4 inches of rain across much of the Catskills, which produced flooding in parts of Ulster County. A state of emergency was declared in the Town of Hardenburgh from early Saturday morning through early afternoon. Many roads were closed and washed out across the town as the Dry Brook flowed well out of its banks.
