Brief, blunt, and to the point. The Town of Olive is distributing leaflets around town over the weekend, telling residents in flood-prone areas not to wait for official notice of evacuation if things get dangerous:
Severe Flooding may occur and the Town does not have the manpower to go door to door to check on each home. You are urged to evacuate early if conditions are warranted.
Check the Olive website: town.olive.ny.us, radio and YNN often for updates.
During the Irene and Lee floods in 2011, many Olive residents were stranded when roads washed out. About a month later, on September 28, the Olive fire department made a dramatic rescue of several Watson Hollow Road residents across the raging Bushkill during a flood.
