I hope so too, I think the worst that happened was trees hitting houses....

I know, drones give natural disasters a new perspective really well!

I've now been able to come up with Indian Lake water volume stats, per https://waterdata.usgs.gov/ny/nwis:

Indian Lake topped out at 43.13 billion gallons on 11/02/2019.  Back in late April 2011, it hit just shy of the all-time record 43.20 b.g.   Later that same year, IL again came close, at ~43.08 b.g., in the wake of Hurricane Irene on 09/11/2011. Those numbers gain meaning in light of the 2003-2019  median of just under 43 b.g.

Contrast all that against the already mentioned 43.20 b.g. highest-ever since 1900, notched in March 1913.  That record high was nearly 29x the February 1948 all-time low of a mere 1.5 B.g.

My personal guess, in light of the aforegoing, is that we've now come off the peak of a roughly 100-year hydrological cycle.  If so, together with circadian, diurnal, lunar, menstrual, solar, tidal and other cycles, it again underscores that, better than anything else, CYCLICALITY  defines how Nature works. .

A mere 5-odd inches is all we got here in the Central Adirondacks last week.  What triggered the flooding was the SPEED:  It all came down in just a few hours!!

Cherrapunji's mega-rains, anything BUT "new"/"unprecedented" and the rest of the panic-mongering litany:   Google it and you'll see they get about 450 inches (11,430 mm) EVERY YEAR.  Their greatest recorded total single-year rainfall, 1,042 inches (26,467 mm) was August 1860 (yes, EIGHTEEN-hundred-sixty!) to July 1861.  That last month - July 1861 - near-drowned 'em in the greatest recorded one-month total: 366 inches (9,296 mm) in July 1861.

Hard to OVERstate how PUNY our 5" were....next to ..Punji's.  Even Cherrapunji, though, takes a back seat to Cilaos, Réunion, in the Indian Ocean, where way back in March 1952 a for most of us unimaginable 1,870 mm (74 inches) fell in less than 24 hours!!!

BTW, it isn't climate change I'm contesting:  The ONLY constant about climate IS CHANGE!   What I'm challenging is the provably fake claim that we 7+ billion ants are "driving" that change.

Fact is, the solar power cone floodlighting us dwarfs ALL humankind's power output ~17,900:1  (per http://www.schulphysik.de/klima/klima2003/groessen.html).  The geezers who keep as many of us as possible ignorant of these facts, KNOW they're LYING when they cynically to exploit the innate idealism of their foot-soldiers by telling 'em we CAN trump the Sun and “stop” the climate change it drives.
