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?

A. Who the heck is "Sam Gentile"? Is "he" qualified to make the kind of postsRead More he's been making? Does he have an undisclosed financial interest in what he's posting? This sure looks like an [unidentified as such] sales promotion for Staples. B. On what basis does "he" assert that Rye Teachers are paying out of their own pockets for school expenses? I'm sure some are, but is it reasonable to base such a broadbrush / dramatic statement based on a nation-wide survey the source of which isn't even specified in the post? Was the survey perhaps assembled by Staples or some other business?
