Now Debby Remnants Seem To Be Heading Towards Steuben County, And There Is A Flood Watch Friday

Meteorologist Rob Carolan now says the remnants of Debby are likely going to be moving towards Steuben County.   "It looks like the models continue to track what's going to be left of Debby further and further west," Rob Carolan said this morning.  "Originally it looked like it was going to cut up across the Hudson River Valley and go through Vermont.  Now it looks like it may go through Eastern New York State.  Also, it keeps throwing the moisture back our way so it looks like Steuben County could see several inches of rainfall on Friday and into Friday night.  That's why the National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch, from Friday morning, through late Friday night," Carolan said.

Local Red Knights Chapter, Raises $2K For Camp Courage

This year, the Red Knights Chapter 42 organization in Bath, brought in $2,000 for the Finger Lakes Regional Burn Association’s annual summer camp, Camp Courage.   "Each year we meet up with the Red Knights NY30 Chapter of Geneva, and all ride into their camp on our motorcycles, escorted in by the East Campbell Fire Department with lights and siren," said Bath Fire Dept spokesman John Conrad.  "The look on the children’s faces with their huge smiles as we ride by the waiting campers touches all our hearts. We make a full circle around the camp and come back and park. All the children (and a few camp counselors) surround the bikes and pick out which one they want to ride first. We give them rides on our bikes through the camp and they just can’t get enough. When we get back to where we started, they pick another one and go again. It makes us smile as much as the children. After everyone gets at least one ride then we break to go have lunch with them. Like all children, some will talk your ear off while others are quite reserved. We could never understand their trauma, but at least for a few hours they get to forget about it and just be kids."
