Jul 1, 1998
Steady rains during the day resulted in rivers remaining high or flooding into the early morning hours of July 2nd. In particular flooding resulted in road closures and washouts with the towns of Peru, Altona and Schuyler Falls particularly hard hit. The Great Chazy, Little AuSable and Saranac Rivers specifically were in flood stage into the evening before gradually receding. However, the Great Chazy remained in flood until early on July 2nd including the Perry Mills area.
