Flash flooding from downpours paralyzed traffic in sections of Schoharie County and stranded hundreds of Middleburgh schoolchildren for hours on Friday.
The heavy rain and the mess it caused had many in this rural county on edge — as it brought back memories of the devastating tropical storms of two years ago.
Middleburgh Elementary School students were sent back to their home room around 3:35 p.m., when a creek jumped its banks and Main Street became impassable. Four hours later, only two students remained inside the main office at the school, where Superintendent Michele Weaver worked the phones.
