[1/3] Debris from overnight flooding along Cedar Pond Brook is pictured in Stony Point, New York, U.S., July 10, 2023. "Widespread, heavy rainfall capable of producing considerable to catastrophic flooding is beginning to unfold, road washouts are ongoing, and are expected to increase in extent and severity over the course of the day," the weather service said on Monday. On Monday morning, Amtrak suspended passenger train service between Albany and New York after flooding damaged tracks. "So that's basically what our priority is today, to try to get to them and open up these major arteries." About two dozen state roads were closed as life-threatening flooding spread across much of the state from the Massachusetts state line north to the Canadian border, Vermont State Police said.

Raja Amar’s 23-acre estate in Stony Point, N.Y., has plenty of places to enjoy a cocktail. Visitors can choose a bottle from his glass-enclosed custom wine cellar, which holds about $2 million worth of wine from Opus One, Screaming Eagle and other pricey wineries. They can sample it at a table in the wine-tasting room just outside. They can pour a Macallan 25 at the bar and sip it in the whiskey-and-cigar lounge, a cherry wood-paneled room with two commercial-grade smoke eaters. A 56-year-old entrepreneur in the telecommunications industry, Mr. Amar built these amenities to house his collection of rare wines, whiskeys, cognacs, bourbons and tequilas, spending about $250,000 to create the wine cellar and wine room and roughly $1.2 million on the whiskey lounge.
