Police: Most Weather Impact Passed, but Hazards Remain

Rye Police have announced that most weather impact of the storm has passed, but hazards remain. Residents are directed to stay away from live wires and fallen trees; and to limit travel.

Here is the full alert: Most of the impact of Hurricane Sandy has passed; winds have decreased and flood waters have receded. However, there are numerous downed trees and wires throughout the City that still pose a danger. Please limit travel unless absolutely necessary; "sightseeing" puts you and utility workers at risk.

Avoid downed wires; always assume that they are live. Stay away from fallen or hanging branches and trees, which can shift, move, and cause serious injury. Please watch children carefully and keep them away from hazardous locations. Restoration efforts will take time; please be aware of and avoid hazards during that period.
