Sep 2, 2011 - I lived in the house across the street from the dinner for 6 Months back in 1995. I just road threw Prattsville about a Month ago on my Motorcycle and though to myself how the town had hardly changed and still had all the Classic small town Charm sad to see it in such shape now ! Always loved the Taverns Slogan "Must Have Got Lost" Wishing everyone in Prattsville the best !

Sep 2, 2011 - Prayers and well wishes from Schenectady. We aren't as bad as Prattsville but we have our work cut out for us too. I am volunteering for flood cleanup in my area and I urge everyone to help their local communities in any way they can.

Sep 3, 2011 - Is the National Guard deployed in Prattsville? and if they are, approximately how many troops and functioning in what capacity? Would the YouTube community/world like to know what is currently transpiring in Prattsville? True Journalism not Yellow Journalism is about who, what, where and when, and Why is deciphered by the viewers.

Sep 9, 2011 - So close, but yet so far. While I'm here I want to Thank everyone one who is keeping us informed on the progress in NY. I would love to go there and help out but the travel and lodging is out of the question. All Hotels and Motels are booked up solid. So accept my donation and Please let my money go to those who need it. And to the people of Prattsville and to all who were affected by this flooding, Beware of Scammers, and rebuild. Build strong and I pray to be there soon .

Sep 17, 2011 - We were looking at an old house for sale in Prattsville. It is still standing and we are still considering buying it. I have made a donation and my husband and I plan to go up and help in Oct. They have assured me that they will still need help and volunteers will be welcome. Volunteer by calling Charle Golke 581-925-8235. Centralia Heart

timtocci Says:

Oct 23, 2011 - They started demolishing the buildings that can't be salvaged this week. Pastor Charlie and Pastor George from Huntersfield Christian Training Center (hctconline org) is in charge of the volunteer coordination (Great American by the trailers). They're seeking skilled volunteers to help actually rebuild the town if you're interested. They're also in need of construction material such as 2x6, sheathing, ect... So if you some xtra drop it off by the trailers, I'm sure it'll be put to good use

alltre Says:

Oct 26, 2011 - I drive through this town on my way to my place in stamford two times a month. God bless everyone in this town I wish you all the best of luck. How long do you think until road is fixed up so people can drive up 23 and drop off supplies and continue going north or is this a very stupid ????? I heard town was in real bad shape.thanks

Nov 22, 2011 - All along State Rt. 42 better wake-up. Extremely possible property owners may lose homes under auspice of Eminent Domain Laws for rebuilding roadway that's impeding commerce, all better quickly unite and lawyer-up, e.g., in forming a Property Owners Corporation as wholly in protecting their homestead. DEP Watershed receives Federal Subsidies as dominant force in protecting water quality for greater good of public. Group/Individual should consult Law Firm specializing in Eminent Domain Seizure.

prattsvillesurviver Says:

Dec 27, 2011 - we are all fine. homes and property can be rebuilt in maby a few more months to a year. about 85% of the town is gone but we are rebuilding. my house along with very few homes were not efected. i wish i could say the same for many of the town. i saw stella cross and she was fine. the physical damage is nothing to the emotional. we are getting better but town still lay in ruin thx 4 your concern.

RaveMobileSafety Says:

Mar 15, 2012 - March 12-16 is National Flood Safety Awareness Week in the US. The National Weather Service encourages all residents to take notice of the weather related threats that could occur at anytime across the country. When residents are in danger, their first instinct is to dial 9-1-1 for help. But in extreme situations, normal rescue procedures can't always be used and it is in preparation for these types of events that citizens should take the time to plan ahead.
