Flooded TROY

From Zois Elizabeth, USA, photos after the passing of hurricane Irene
& this message:
"Living near the Hudson River, many flood events and small pockets of evacuations have to be watched. 950,000 people around New York state are without electricity. People have lost things in flooded cellars.
It is hard on a lot of people. Nothing like war though where it's this many times worse."
