Sandy's Aftermath: No Power, Downed Trees

Downed trees, signs and light poles decorate the New Rochelle landscape Tuesday morning.

New Rochelle woke up Tuesday to find over half its residents without power after Hurricane Sandy tore through the Monday night into Tuesday morning.

Several downed trees, including many downed wires, made passage along streets such as Woodland Avenue, Circuit Road and Echo Ave impossible.

Debris littered most streets around the city.

Depending on where one was driving traffic lights were out, but then one intersection later they were fully functional.

The area around New Roc City, including the Radisson Hotel New Rochelle, had electricity.

During the night Monday, the Avalon East and Trump Plaza buildings illuminated the night.

Depending on where the electricity is still on, gas stations were pumping fuel.

Both Stop and Shop supermarkets and ShopRite were open for business Tuesday, with ice and "D" batteries in short supply or non-existent.

I think it's great that Pamela Davis stepped up to run and I would be glad to vote for her any otherRead More year. But this year we have one of New Rochelle's most dedicated and knowledgeable activists running. Bob Cox knows New Rochelle and the school district inside and out. I'm not sure the same can be said for Pam Davis. If you want someone who already knows where the wasteful spending is, and already knows the district's strengths and weaknesses, then Bob Cox is the person. Who cares how congenial he is? Where some people see anger and finger-pointing, others see tenacity and accountability.
