The villages of Livingston Manor and Roscoe in the Town of Rockland are experiencing significant flooding, according to the Sullivan County website, and the town of Rockland has declared a state of emergency, according to County Manager David Faslau:
The Town of Rockland has declared a State of Emergency. The schools have been opened for any needed shelter. Flooding is occurring in Livingston Manor, particularly in the area of Main Street and Pearl Street. Some evacuations are underway in Livingston Manor and Roscoe, including the Roscoe Motel. I have been in contact with The Town of Rockland Supervisor and Legislator Elwin “Woody” Wood concerning the conditions in the Town. Further information will be provided periodically.
The Catskill Chronicle also has photos taken around 7am in Livingston Manor this morning, showing the Willowemoc Creek overflowing and water running down Main Street.

Only very minimal flooding on Main Street in Livingston Manor. Does not sound like any store got wet.

The Times-Herald Record has a story on flooding in Sullivan County.
4:45pm: YNN has a reporter on the ground in Livingston Manor, where, he reports, things didn't get as bad as they could've. But part of this might be goold old Catskill stoicism: he interviews one business owner who says that Main Street "only" had a foot of water on it.
