Storm Athena Knocks Out More Power in Rye

Several hundred homes are newly without power after the snowstorm knocked it out.

Two areas in Rye are powerless and others remain without power after winter storm Athena caused a transformer to blow and slowed Con Edison restoration progress, according to Rye City police.

A loop at Milton Point went out of power when a transformer blew, leaving about 700 in the cold, Police Commissioner William Connors said Thursday.

An area around Bradford Park that had not lost power during or after Super Storm Sandy swept through is now without power due to the snowstorm, he said.

Con Edison is working to restore the Milton Point area but Connors was unsure of when Bradford Park residents will see the lights come back on.

They are probably going to continue restoration work in the areas affected by Sandy first, he said.


Do you live in Bradford Park or around Milton Point? What is your power situation like?

Let's look at the appropriateness of this post. First, it's clearly an ad because it points to aRead More specific insurance agent at a specific agency to contact. Second, it attempts to hide being an ad behind what may be useful information (or not). Third, the "person" who posted it doesn't use their real name. Instead, they use a pseudonym Divorce Information NOW. That doesn’t seem terribly reassuring to me. This the third advertising post on the “announcements” space since Rye Patch converted to the new site layout. Seems a bit of a mess to me. But hopefully someone will come along and figure out who the real poster is, their link to the advertised agent and agency, and then delete the post. After all, if it’s an ad, it should be labeled as such and the poster should pay for having it run. If that doesn’t happen, Patch won’t be able to pay its employees to keep real content on the site.
