The holiday weekend has gotten off to an inconvenient start for many folks in Rensselaer County.
The Wynants Kill – a creek that flows through the middle of town and heads west to the Hudson River – has overflowed its banks.
The water has backed up into basements, backyards and roads in the community.
Vehicles on Peck Road near the Lakeside Grove Mobile Home Park had to navigate the flooded roadway cautiously.
That’s because culverts on the side of the road were overwhelmed by heavy, steady rain that fell.

Inside the mobile home park, floodwaters were flowing rapidly through many backyards. Some of the water was encroaching and inconveniencing residents.
Some roads were shut down for a time, but have since reopened.
However, flooding is still causing headaches for some residents. Many basements will need time to dry out.
