Flash flooding sends water into homes and business in Cape Vincent
Flash flooding after an overnight storm sent water into homes and the French Towne Market in Cape Vincent, with cleanup underway the following day.
Overnight storms brought nearly 2 inches of rain to Cape Vincent, causing flash flooding that sent water into homes and the French Towne Market, according to the information provided. The store had about 3 inches of water across its roughly 8,000-square-foot building, and the Cape Vincent Fire Department handled about 11 requests to pump water from homes within roughly 90 minutes.
Cleanup continued the next day, with about 20 to 25 people helping residents and the market. The French Towne Market reopened at its usual time, while one flooded home had a damaged hot water heater replaced. Some puddles remained, but Broadway Street showed little sign of the storm by then.
