The roofs of several buildings were
ripped off, including the Calabash
Restaurant and Mrs. Fairfax on Liberty

Motel on Broadway. There were numerous
reports of trees on houses, and a tree
reportedly struck Vesuvios Restaurant on
DuPont Avenue in Newburgh. There were
also numerous reports of trees and wires
blocking roadways throughout the region.
The Metro North Commuter Line
suspended service between Croton
and Beacon, leaving many passengers
stranded.
Central Hudson crews and damage
assessment teams are addressing power
outages and surveying damage locations.
Approximately 100 mutual aid line
workers from the Midwest are arriving
to assist in power restoration, and in all
a field force of more than 300 electric line
and tree personnel has been assembled.
Central Hudson anticipates restoration
work could last through Thursday or
later.
