Sandy Closing In

The NYPD has moved boats to Hudson Valley marinas to ride out the storm.

Posted by Stu Bayer, October 29, 2012 at 05:38 pm

Hurricane Sandy is begining to show her teeth as the first winds combine with high tides causing flooding and road closures in the area.

The New York City Police Department has moved its boats to local marinas in Tarrytown and Verplanck for safe harbor to ride out the storm.

Along the Hudson River, inlets and creeks are overflowing onto roadways. In Cortlandt, the Bear Mountain Bridge Road has been closed at the Annsville Creek circle.

@ Wendy, there are people that would say your fight against the methadone clinic is ridiculous. To…Read More some people, gay marriage is a very REAL issue. Recovering drug addicts need to be able to turn to a clinic in order stay on a path of sobriety and many people disagree with your views. I have yet to see methadone zombies all over the streets of Peekskill. Instead we see non-recovering addicts and dealers in the news all the time. Those people are NOT the people that seek the help of clinics. Drug dealers don't hang out in clinics, they hang out in their homes and wait for the next call to come in. I'm sorry that you don't consider discussion about how Frank was removed from the School Board for LYING about living in Peekskill is something to discuss. To me it shows that he already has a very real history of being a liar and shady in order to keep himself in the spotlight and feeling important. However, I do agree that any of those GOP members sitting on that board could've EASILY raised money every year to keep themselves out of the hole if that's what the methadone clinic was doing for them. As far as Mary emailing you back within 24 hours, while you are a taxpaying resident, she is a part-time Mayor and she does have a life of her own. Let's not think that we are all so important that we deserve answers immediately. We've been posting directly to Frank's blog for over a day now and he has not addressed a single thing that has been discussed. We all know that he's reading this. Seems that in a world of transparent government, Frank doesn't want to answer many questions.

Well MJ, of course you would be against a business being allowed to decide not to lose a substantial…Read More amount of money because of a liberal social program. No surprise there. I don't speak or write for anybody, but Dwight Douglas is very respected and had been for many years. He resigned over the mess and for being betrayed. The rest of the board are useless. If they weren't so partisan they would have resigned too. As for the forensic audit, at least we agree on something. When Frank wins I hope he does one right away. Lots of money disappearing over the last 6 years, especially a huge fund balance that is now all gone.

Peter Goodson I disagree it was initiated by the HVHC and they are stupid to think a loss of 200K a…Read More year is enough cause for me or the rest of the community to believe a closure is necessary. Federspiel thinks Peekskill is bias, better check again we are pretty damn wise. The powers at be could have made a move and didn't. Greg Ball could have raised that money with one event. He is always in the media for his fundraiser at HVHC. This is an absolute mess. Mary Foster has always responded to my e-mails and always claimed she was in opposition. I have emailed her twice in the past 24 hours with no response. You can run Mary but you can't hide!

I'm sure the anti-gun lobby does not like those numbers- but they are the facts. I know it flies in the face of all of the propaganda- millions of gun purchases and gun crime goes down?
