LODI, N.Y. (AP) — The Latest on a woman who survived being swept into a New York lake during flash flooding this week (all times local):
3:45 p.m.
A woman and her dog have been reunited two days after they were both swept into a New York lake by flash flooding caused by torrential downpours.
Rene Halligan tells The Associated Press that her dog was caught Thursday just as she arrived at a Seneca Lake campground to look her 4-year-old mixed breed.
The 60-year-old nurse and her dog Ruby were in Halligan's camper early Tuesday morning when it was swamped by rushing water. The dog was swept away, and Halligan was momentarily trapped before escaping out the door.
