These photos were taken in August to December 2008 after heavy rain in late July caused local flooding in Schenectady County. Heavy rainfall resulted in high discharge, and as debris blocked channels and culverts the flowing water caused severe erosion along the length of Wolf Hollow in Schenectady County. Since this event, the road has was closed, but repairs by the County allowed it to reopen in November 2008
