🚨 FLASH FLOOD WARNING – HANCOCK NY AREA (DELAWARE COUNTY, NY)
Issued at 7:50 PM on March 31, 2026 by the National Weather Service in Binghamton, this warning remains in effect until 11:00 PM EDT.
Doppler radar indicates strong thunderstorms producing extremely heavy rainfall, with rates exceeding 2 inches per hour and 1 to 1.5 inches already falling in just 20–30 minutes. Flash flooding is already occurring or expected to begin shortly, especially in low-lying and poor drainage areas.
• Hazard: Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms
• Source: Radar indicated
• Impacts: Flooding of creeks, streams, roads, highways, and underpasses
• At-Risk Areas: Walton, Delhi, Deposit, Davenport, Roxbury, Colchester, Meredith, Andes, Stamford, Hobart, Franklin, Meridale, Downsville, Corbett, East Meredith, Bovina Center, Harvard, Sidney Center, Kortright, Hamden
⚠️ SAFETY TIPS
Flash floods can develop quickly and become life-threatening with little warning. Never attempt to drive or walk through flooded roadways—just a small amount of moving water can carry away a vehicle.
Stay alert, monitor local alerts, and be prepared to move to higher ground if conditions worsen.
• Turn around, don’t drown — avoid flooded roads at all costs
• Move to higher ground if flooding begins
• Stay away from creeks, streams, and drainage areas
• Do not walk through moving water
• Report flooding to emergency services when safe

Lucky Dog Bingo - Date Changed. Due to an unexpected administrative issue related to our bingo licensing, we need to postpone the Lucky Dog Bingo that was scheduled for Saturday March 21st.
Our organization submitted the required NYS paperwork we were provided and paid the fees last year, but the new license has not yet been finalized. To ensure everything is fully approved and in compliance, we are moving the event to a later date.
We’re working quickly with the appropriate NYS offices to resolve this issue and will announce the new date as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience and continued support of the Hancock Hounds Dog Park. We’re excited to host more community bingo events once everything is squared away!
