In reaction to the floods, Keene Central School sent its kids home at roughly nine in the morning, according to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise. Students from Lake Placid Central School were dismissed at 1:00 pm. Early in the afternoon, Caitlin Kelly of NCPR met with a number of people outside Lake Placid. At a pull-off on Route 86, near the intersection of River Road, on the west branch of the Ausable River, she discovered Leslie Brier. As of right now, Brier stated, “We’re looking at water that’s almost completely at the grass level, where you would pull off to park by River Road.” “Having spent my childhood here in Lake Placid, this is likely the highest I’ve ever seen it.”
Kelly conversed with Scott Parker, a resident of Hamilton, Ontario, along the Ausable River bridge close to Old Military Road. “Water is still falling, and there’s about 12 to 16 inches of clearance underneath the bridge,” noted Parker. He traveled to the Adirondacks in order to summit many 46er peaks, but Kelly caught up with him as he left town. The water levels are higher than they have ever been in the dozens of visits Parker has made down here, so he is choosing to turn around and make the eight-hour drive home.
