VIDEO: Route 303 in Orangeburg (by Moutainview Ave), Multiple cars Submerged

Four cars with passengers inside were partially submerged in water before all being safely removed. Strong rain showers and thunderstorms wrecked havoc on the South Orangetown area that resulted in flooded roads and downed trees.

That area of Route 303 is currently closed and traffic being redirected. We spoke with one of the drivers who was in good spirts and thankful they were ok.

Rockland Report Admin

Recently, a resident posted this picture of a large black rat snake at Congers Lake. Town staff was sent to identify and locate it and the photo was sent to the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation experts who identified it as an extremely large native black rat snake. According to the DEC these snakes average three to five feet but can grow to as large as eight feet. It is not venomous and poses NO harm to people. It is prime season to see them as they emerge from hibernation and the temperature is still cool out. They feed on mice, voles, small birds and eggs etc.

If you see this snake or others like it just give it space, they will be slower this time of year due to weather and will pose no harm to any residents. If you have any questions related to wildlife please call DEC region 3 general wildlife line 845-256-3098. If you see a snake like this at Congers Lake realize that is its natural habitat and please give it space.
