( CNN ) -- Seven families who thought they had escaped the wrath of Irene are now stranded in the New York 's Catskill Mountains after bridges crumbled all around them . The 23 people -- including two pregnant women , seven toddlers and three infants -- are now stuck with no electricity , a dwindling supply of food and were down to one gallon of water late Sunday night . `` When we heard news about ( bad weather ) hitting Brooklyn , we thought we had saved ourselves , '' said Irina Noveck , one of those trapped at a vacation house in Prattsville , New York . But after four bridges leading to the house collapsed , the families found themselves in a more dire predicament . `` We 're sitting in one room , and it 's a horrible situation and there is no way out , '' Noveck said . `` ( We ) called 911 , 311 , nobody can help . Kids are getting scared , food is getting spoiled . '' She said the families brought enough food for their weeklong stay , but that week ends Monday . And well water to the house is powered by an electric pump , but now there is no electricity . New York Gov . Andrew Cuomo 's office said early Monday that emergency officials are monitoring the situation and `` expect to rescue the people by sometime Monday . '' Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden said Prattsville was one of the hardest-hit areas in terms of flooding after Irene tore over New York . He said the volume of water coming off the Catskill mountaintops is estimated to have exceeded the flow from Niagara Falls on both the American and Canadian sides , based on cubic feet per minute . Earlier Sunday , 25 people stranded in Moore 's Motel in Prattsville were rescued by National Guard troops and mutual aid . The effort took hours because 70 mph gusts proved too powerful for an air rescue , Groden said . A total of 87 people stranded in Prattsville were rescued Sunday , he said . Groden said Greene County is experiencing a 500-year flood , with many communities impassable . The county has missing bridges , major flooding and boats `` that look like corks in the water . '' He said rain had stopped by late Sunday night . While officials hope the major runoff is over by Monday morning , high tide is expected at 6 a.m. near the Hudson River . CNN 's Maria P. White contributed to this report .
