I've seen a lot of news clips from the Buffalo area and I sympathize with you. Weather in recent years has been bizarre at best. Here in Northeast PA we've had so many heavy rains in the last 3 years that road crews won't get caught up for years. Bridges out or damaged, road shoulders washed away, etc. Whatever water falls up here eventually winds up in the Delaware River and floods downstream in the Trenton, NJ and Philadelphia areas....and they've had the problems as a result. Somebody up there is mad at the U.S.
