The heavy rainfall led to severe flooding, road washouts, and structural collapses, affecting homes, businesses, and infrastructure. Residents in Albany, Columbia, Greene, and Rensselaer counties faced significant disruptions, with many still without power and dealing with flood damage. Emergency services were stretched thin, responding to hundreds of calls for assistance. Health risks from contaminated water and mold are also a concern. The flooding displaced residents, prompting the opening of emergency shelters by the American Red Cross.
