WHEREAS, over the period December 29-30, 1984, heavy rain combined with unseasonably warm temperatures resulted in flooding and caused personal hardship, damage to residential and commercial properties and to the agricultural community, as well as the disruption of vital public transportation systems, within the Counties of Lewis, Herkimer, Franklin, St. Lawrence, Oneida, Oswego, Jefferson and Hamilton and contiguous areas.
