Sandy Hub: Recovery and Restoration

All things recovery here. Please use the comments to share information with your neighbors and give a good picture of what is going on in different parts of Yorktown and Somers.

Days after Super Storm Sandy slammed into the northeast and most large numbers of Yorktown and Somers residents still do not have electricity, school is still out and many roads remain closed. 

We have compiled all of our Sandy recovery and power restoration information here for you to contribute to and check frequently for updates. 

Please add your information in the comments to make this as comprehensive as possible. Let us know when you get power back, when your road opens up, or where you are seeing Con Edison and NYSEG trucks around town.

Saturday Update

From Somers Supervisor Mary Beth Murphy: "Approximately 65 percent of the Somers remains without power, down from 95 percent. Dry ice will be available at the Middle snd Imtermediate school campus at 12:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. today. Please come to a full stop at all imtersections where traffic lights arte out and proceed cautiously. Shelter at Heritage Hills Activity Center remains open as does St. Luke's for charging electronics, optimum wifi hot spot and community dinner."

First of all, I don't understand why teachers are paying for anything out of pocket when the supplyRead More lists that parents receive at the end of the summer are as long as their arms. Secondly, SOCIETY lets the kids down?!?!? I think the school taxes in Yorktown should be sufficient so that the teachers don't have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses. SOCIETY does not let the kids down, it is those who are in control of the school tax monies who let the kids down. Perhaps the administrators should take salary cuts, or maybe we should even eliminate some of those administrative positions. No teacher should have to pay for supplies out of pocket.
