I-84 and Route 17 become extremely hazardous during winter storms, leading to serious motor vehicle accidents. The mountainous terrain in western Orange County can create localized severe weather. Spring flooding along the Wallkill River and other waterways can damage property. Summer storms bring wind damage and power outages. The county's rural areas see agricultural-related weather impacts.
