We are needing to be cautious and take a few extra security precautions for the next few days or until a pair of escaped convicts is found. The pair staged the first sucessful escape from the maximum security prison at Dannemora (Clinton Correctional Facility) since it was built in 1865. The two are some real rough characters and were somehow able to cut through the wall to their cell with some type of power tools and get into the underground system of maintenance tunnels. Goveernor Cuomo cancelled his trip to the Bellmont to come up and tour the scene. I had heard of the escape while at a farmer's market today and was stopped twice by heavily armed roadblocks as I approached home. Dannemora is only about 10 miles from home.
Here is one story covering some of it
