On Wednesday, Mother Nature was a site to behold for some.

“Never have I ever seen anything like this in my whole entire life," said Page Deas, a visitor from Virginia.

It was also the cause of unease for others.

“It's a shame some of these houses have been abandoned now for a while," said Erich Bachmeyer, a Stockade District resident.

Wednesday afternoon, Governor Andrew Cuomo respondine to frustrated flood-prone area homeowners.

"This is more of a nuisance, but I get it," Cuomo said. "When you're in an area flooded repeatedly every two, three, four years going through the same thing, that gets old very quickly."

Cuomo paid a visit to Lock 8 in Scotia, where local and state officials gave him a rundown of the ice jams and flooding.

"The problem is actually the warm weather, 73, 74 degrees, we broke the record," the governor said. "Normally, that would be a good thing, but the fear now is you have these big ice jams, sudden warm spell that ice melts and increases the possibility of flooding."

Cuomo says his office has been working closely with local government, monitoring ice jams, but says there’s only so much that can be done.

"We can’t melt the ice faster, can’t stop the ice from melting, but we monitor it all," Cuomo said. "I expect the continuation of extreme weather, we have to focus on resiliency, assume there's going to be another flood, assume this is an area that normally floods.”

Governor Cuomo also add the state has put in a serious investment in stopping future floods, and he called it a 'good' investment.
