Michael was frequently consulted to develop lake management studies, stream improvement projects and community environmental protection plans throughout the county. Legislative Resolution #135 of 2002 – recognized the great impact the Michael Ciaiola had on Putnam County and officially changed the name of “Walter G. Merritt Conservation Area” to the “Michael Ciaiola Conservation Area”. About George C. Cain George C. Cain, a New York City firefighter who died at the World Trade Center on 9/11/01, was a resident of the Town of Patterson in Putnam County. George and his friends would run, hike, cross-country ski and mountain bike the many beautiful trails of Putnam County. George was always interested in improving any trail he used. He would pick up any litter he found on his hikes and he always had an idea on how to improve the trails for better use. Legislative Resolution 238 of 2001, proclaimed a trail loop *********** Great Hollow Nature Preserve & Ecological Research Center Nature preserve totals approximately 825 acres, spanning the towns of New Fairfield and Sherman, Connecticut. It is contiguous or nearly contiguous with thousands of acres of additional protected land in Connecticut and neighboring New York, including Pootatuck State Forest, Squantz Pond State Park, Michael Ciaiola Conservation Area, Cranberry Mountain Wildlife Management Area, and the Great Swamp.

Hurricane Henri August 21st 2021 7:29pm MTA New York City Subway Rockaway Beach Peninsula of Long Island NY Hurricane Henri (/ɒnˈriː/ on-REE[1]) is currently an active Atlantic hurricane that is threatening Long Island and New England. The eighth tropical depression and eighth named storm, and the third hurricane of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season, Henri originated from a well-defined low-pressure system 200 miles north-northeast of Bermuda. At 03:00 UTC on August 16, the system became designated into Tropical Depression 08L. Eighteen hours later, the system strengthened into Tropical Storm Henri. Henri continued to slowly move south, and later southwest. Henri continued to steadily strengthen, reaching its initial peak intensity with winds of 70 mph (110 km/h) and a pressure of 994 mbar (29.4 inHg) early on August 19. Soon after, strong wind shear weakened Henri slightly. Eventually, Henri strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane. #HurricaneHenri #Hurricane #hurricane #Henri #henri #NYCMTA #MTANYC #StormSurge #AtlanticOcean #Weather #ExtremeWeather #LongIsland #NewYork #USA #2021
