Northern Regional Area Fared 'Pretty Well' in Superstorm Sandy, Police Chief Reports

Despite dire warnings about the wrath of Superstorm Sandy, the weather did no major damage in the area served by Northern Regional Police Department.

"Actually, we fared pretty well," Northern Regional Police Chief T. Robert Amann said Tuesday morning, noting no road closures or major flooding issues.

NRPD serves Marshall, Bradford Woods, Pine and Richland.

But, a tree hit a house on Applewood Drive in Richland during the storm, he said.

"We're watching areas that have had flooding in the past. For now, there are no major problems," Amann said.

In Marshall Township, police are monitoring the Brush Creek area near Northgate Drive and Warrendale Road.

The flood-prone areas in Richland Township are:

Route 910 at Grubbs Road,

Route 910 at Route 8,

and Route 910 at Turner Road.

No traffic problems were reported overnight either, the chief said.

"There was not much traffic out there," he said.

Amann said he was watching the Weather Channel this morning and saw sunshine in Point Pleasant, NJ, and figured it was heading this way.

"By Friday, we should be OK."
