Restored Power

 The Wawa in Stone Harbor brought in a generator last Sunday so they could serve the locals coffee after the blizzard.  They were back on their own power within a day.

We drove around the island tonight for a better perspective of the electrical repairs.  Saw 2 blocks in the dark:   beach block of 71st Street and mid-block 54th Street.   I believe both of these streets had electric service earlier in the week- not sure of the problem.

Remaining wires down and damaged poles are causing outages to a few other local homes.

Otherwise, street lights and year round residences are glowing bright in Avalon and Stone Harbor!

PROPERTY OWNERS:  It’s important to check your property after the extended power failure (unless the property was completely winterized- water pipes blown out and anti-freeze in the toilets, etc).  Water pipes in an unheated space are susceptible to freezing.
