It was bad in peekskill we had 2 MVA's, but in general the roads were bad.

[ONLOCATION 24]

Props to P'ville, Banksville, Mt. Kisco, And Yorktown. These Dept.'s just stuck out in my head from hearing them going out ALL NIGHT LONG especially Banksville & Kisco. Roads were Horrible in Northern Westchester especially Ossining.

Apparently half of Rye had no power at some point. Any more details on this?

[JM15 386]
