Flooding in the Town has been pretty bad requiring that we shut down several major roads. Presently, Central Avenue is closed from the 4 Corners to South Washington Avenue; Jackson Avenue is closed at Old Jackson; Nepperhan Avenue in North Elmsford is closed and I just have been advised that 9A in the area of Warehouse Lane has also been closed. Babbitt Court is flooded but it has not, as yet, been necessary to evacuate anyone. Both the Saw Mill and Bronx River Parkways are also closed. We were advised by Con Edison that it would be necessary to evacuate 180 East Hartsdale Avenue as water was entering the basement and they were fearful it would reach the electric service boxes requiring that the power be shut off. The Fire Department is there and for the time being they must be keeping up with the flooding since the evacuation has been put off. We have opened the Recreation Building at the Town Park in the event evacuation is necessary. Many jurisdictions throughout the county have declared local states of emergency and resources (buses for transporting residents, Red Cross) are not available. If necessary, we will be making transports using our own bus. Although the flooding is pretty extreme, we have not had to rescue anyone at this point. The National Weather Service forecast indicates rain, although not as heavy as earlier, until about 1:00 a.m., when the steady rain will turn to showers. I will keep you updated if things change and will be in to work early in the morning. Chief Kapica
