0:00.0 | So Jimmy, you did not get washed away in the recent rain flooding situation? |
0:06.0 | No, no. Vermont is hit pretty hard and that's obviously about a two hour drive away from here, |
0:11.2 | three hour drive, and then South, which is only just about about less than an hour drive away, |
0:16.6 | get hit pretty hard to South. So it's funny in New York when people say the Hudson Valley, |
0:21.3 | if you're in New York City and you're like a news reporter and you say the Hudson Valley, |
0:25.3 | they talk about just above the Bronx, which is like 30 miles north of Manhattan. |
0:29.7 | But if you live upstate, the Hudson Valley is from Albany down and that's about 100 and so |
0:36.9 | miles north of where they always keep saying the Hudson Valley. So they talk about the very edge |
0:42.2 | of the South part of the Hudson Valley is where the flooding was, which was like white plains, |

1:31.0 | every detour, there was many detours. But even during that event, my house was still high enough |
1:35.8 | to not even know when we woke up that morning. We didn't even know that there was any until we |
1:40.0 | went for a drive and we started realizing all these road closures. And just like little country |
1:45.3 | roads were closed for months because every bridge got washed under. And that did not happen |
1:51.1 | this week. It could happen down in the beginning of the Hudson Valley. |
