Monsey, NY - Wind, rain causing downed trees, outages, parkway problems
Monsey, NY - A January thaw that has temperatures in the 50s today already is causing headaches for drivers and homeowners alike.
Heavy rains and rising winds are causing trees to topple onto roadways and reports of power outages.
A tree down on Ingham Road has cut power to Todd Elementary School in Briarcliff. Children are being dismissed at 11:15 a.m. today. People seeking information are asked to call 914-941-8880.
Branches were reported blocking roads or causing road problems in Mount Kisco, New Castle, Yorktown, Kent, Dobbs Fairy, Irvington, Mamaroneck Village, Ossining, Pelham Manor and Kent. Pleasantville police reported a tree branch fell onto a parked car, causing damage to the roof and windshield.
Hasting-on-Hudson police reported a tree down on Fairmount Avenue; Pound Ridge had wires down on the road, closing part of Woodlands Road and Lower Shad Road by Kendall. Tarrytown police reported wires down on Grove Street near Elizabeth. Consolidated Edison was at the scene at 10:30 a.m.
