Cleanup is continuing in communities across the Northeast affected by heavy rain and dangerous floods. One of the worst-hit areas is Orange County in New York’s Hudson Valley, where roads were washed out and one woman was tragically swept away. Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus spoke with WAMC's Ian Pickus Friday afternoon.

A lifelong resident of the Capital Region, Ian joined WAMC in 2008 and became news director in 2013. He began working on Morning Edition and has produced The Capitol Connection, produced and hosted the Congressional Corner, and several other WAMC programs. Ian can also be heard as the host of the WAMC News Podcast and on The Roundtable and newscasts. Ian holds a BA in English and journalism and an MA in English, both from the University at Albany, where he has taught journalism since 2013.
