The Following Day . . . Twenty-four Years Ago
Yesterday, Gossips published John Cody's photographs of the flooding on the waterfront that occurred on January 20, 1996, as a consequence of a dramatic January thaw and a break in the ice jam farther upriver. The next day, the water was followed by giant chunks of ice crashing down the river and slamming into the Hudson Power Boat Association clubhouse. Cody shared these pictures taken on January 21, 1996, with Gossips this morning, with the comment, "Amazing the boat club survived." Only the gable the the roof of the building can be seen above the ice in these pictures.

Quite incredible it was. Standing on Promenade Hill, watching and listening as ice blocks slowly crashed into each other, cracking, groaning, and piling up on the boat club was quite remarkable. I still have the photo from the front of the Register Star - if I can find it.
