As we move into the 8th day of our restoration efforts progress has been slow, but steady.  We have approximately 60% of our residents with power restored. Presently we have a total of 17 restoration crews with 39 bucket trucks working throughout the Town.

Living in our homes with no heat, lights or water without a generator is very trying.  I know because I am also one of those residents.  I assure you that we are pushing Con Ed as hard as we can to bring more resources to North Castle.  We have been told that an additional 50 crews will reach WestchesterCounty tonight.  We hope to get our fair share.

Here is a partial list of restoration work areas for today:  Route 22, North of Chestnut Ridge andWoodcrest Drive, Windmill at North Lake andUpland, General Heath in North White Plains,Annadale Road, and East Middle Patent Road.  I will tweet other locations as they come in.

All voting places are open and have been functioning well.  Gas is available at all gas stations in North Castle.

Please prepare for tomorrow’s storm.  If winds reach 40-50 MPH as predicted, crews can not work up in the air or handle wires during heavy rains. We may lose a day of restoration.  Let’s hope not.

As fast as restorations is completed neighborhoods are turned on.  We often don’t know until the lights go on. Please believe me, we are working as hard as we can to get all of our community back on line. We appreciate your patience.
