Reports of Down Trees, Blocked Roadways Hit the Area
Routes 35, 9A and 129 are some of the major roads that have been affected by reports of fallen trees.
The state Department of Transportation is reporting that downed trees are blocking two southbound lanes on Route 9A in Ossining, just south of the Croton Dam Road, and Route 129 in Yorktown between, Underhill Avenue and Saw Mill River Road.
Another downed tree was also reported on Route 35 in Cortlandt, between Crompound Road and Croton Avenue, shortly after 4 p.m.
Earlier this afternoon, Lt. Eric Johansen of the Peekskill police department said his department has been busy with calls for downed trees and wires today. But he said nothing major had been reported.
“We are monitoring the weather and it looks like late afternoon into early evening will be the height of the storm and the cause for greatest concern,” Johansen said.
