Schoharie County update: Shelter closing at Middleburgh School

Although a few roads remain closed in Schoharie County, the region was spared much of Sandy's wrath. The county Emergency Management Office reports that a shelter set up at the Middleburgh Elementary School will close at noon on Tuesday. 

Roads that are still closed, as of 9:30am:

  • Havrish Road and Porter Road in the town of Jefferson
  • Patria Road in the town of Fulton

An earlier high wind warning for the region has been cancelled, although a wind advisory is still in effect throughout Schoharie County and most of the Catskills region until 6pm, with winds of 31 to 39 mph and gusts of 46 to 57 mph expected.

The county is posting periodic updates to a Sandy information page.
