Storm Damage Reported in Rye

Last week’s storm knocked out power and brought branches and trees down around Rye.

Rye City police received dozens of calls regarding trees down and branches blocking roadways following the Sept. 18 storm, according to the police blotter. According to calls made to police on Sept. 19, the following areas saw a lot of trees down and wind damage:

On Forest Ave. and Grace Church Street a tree was blocking a roadway; on Forest Ave. a large branch fell over wires and damaged a homeowners front fence and disconnected the meter from the side of the house; a tree was down across roadway on Wainwright Street and wires were down; a tree fell across the roadway on Manursing Street; and on Boston Post Road a traffic light broke loose from its wire due to high winds and the Department of Public Works responded.

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.
