MURRAY – The big rain that hit this afternoon and early evening flooded roads in the Town of Murray, including this section of Route 31 near Transit Road.
This photo was taken around 6 p.m. The road was temporarily closed to traffic due to the flooding.
A section of Lynch Road also was flooded.
The area under the bridge on South Main Street (Route 237) also was flooded. This is the bridge that carries the railroad.
The water wasn’t draining too fast due to the rising creek. One person makes sure the drains are clear of any debris.
Murray firefighters contended with two trees that fell in roadways, and some residents with flooded basements.
Aaron Vosburgh sent in this photo of his flooded backyard on Butts Road in Albion.
Orleans County dispatch said the Town of Murray took the brunt of the flooding with calls for assistance from the fire department.
