New City, New York

An unidentified male hangs on to a branch in a rain swollen creek as he waits for rescuers in New City, N.Y., Sunday, Aug. 28, 2011. He and three others went tubing in the creek and had to be rescued by New City and Stony Point fire departments’ water rescue teams. With the rains and wind of Tropical Storm Irene heading north, some people went out for recreation in the unusual conditions left in the storm’s wake. ( AP Photo/The Journal News, Peter Carr)
