ALBANY COUNTY — Albany County is again under a flood watch through 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 7.

This follows a June 6 flood watch that lasted till midnight. The heavy rains on June 6 flooded roads and parking lots in Altamont and washed out some driveways.

Altamont Boulevard to Brandle Road was closed on Saturday morning due to road conditions, the Guilderland Police announced at 9:41 a.m.

Isolated to scattered flashflooding is possible today, June 7, according to the National Weather Service, especially if storms repeatedly track over the same areas.

Ponding of water is also possible in low-lying, urban, and poor draining areas.

    When the government assesses need, it does so on a census-block by census-block basis, where if just one household in a block has broadband it means that block is “served,” in the eyes of the government. This puts rural communities at a disadvantage because their low population densities mean their blocks cover a larger geographic area.

And that’s what we’re going to measure it by.”
